We prove that the Hitchin parametrization provides geodesic coordinates at the Fuchsian locus for the pressure metric in the Hitchin component $\mathcal{H}_{3}(S)$ of surface group representations into $PSL(3,\mathbb{R})$. The proof consists of the following elements: we compute first derivatives of the pressure metric…

In this paper we show some properties of triangle invariants and shearing invariants of PSL(n,R)-Fuchsian representations. Moreover, using the Bonahon-Dreyer parameterization, we show that the Fuchsian locus of Hitchin components corresponds to a slice.

The main result is an explicit expression for the Pressure Metric on the Hitchin component of surface group representations into PSL(n,R) along the Fuchsian locus. The expression is in terms of a parametrization of the tangent space by holomorphic differentials, and it gives a precise relationship with the Petersson pa…

A new metric model for quasi-Fuchsian space defined by Bers metrics.

We show that the critical exponent of a representation in the Hitchin component of $PSL(d,\mathbb{R})$ is bounded above, the least upper bound being attained only in the Fuchsian locus. This provides a rigid inequality for the area of a minimal surface on $ρ\backslash X,$ where $X$ is the symmetric space of $PSL(d,\mat…

An almost Fuchsian 3-manifold is a quasi-Fuchsian manifold which contains an incompressible closed minimal surface with principal curvatures in the range of $(-1,1)$. Such a 3-manifold $M$ admits a foliation of parallel surfaces, whose locus in Teichmüller space is represented as a path $γ$, we show that $γ$ joins the …

The paper adapts metrics to anti-de Sitter structures, characterizing their degeneracies.

An almost-Fuchsian group is a quasi-Fuchsian group such that the quotient hyperbolic manifold contains a closed incompressible minimal surface with principal curvatures contained in (-1,1). We show that the domain of discontinuity of an almost-Fuchsian group contains many balls of a fixed spherical radius in the visual…

The study classifies weakly almost Fuchsian manifolds and proves geometric properties.

Surveying Hitchin representations of Fuchsian groups.

We show that if a homeomorphism between the ideal boundaries of two Fuchsian buildings preserves the combinatorial cross ratio almost everywhere, then it extends to an isomorphism between the Fuchsian buildings. It follows that Mostow rigidity holds for Fuchsian buildings: if a group acts properly and cocompactly on tw…

Paper describes a pseudo-Kähler structure on a specific Hitchin component.

Limit sets of $\mathrm{AdS}$-quasi-Fuchsian groups of $\mathrm{PO}(n,2)$ are always Lipschitz submanifolds. The aim of this article is to show that they are never $\mathcal{C}^1$, except for the case of Fuchsian groups. As a byproduct we show that $\mathrm{AdS}$-quasi-Fuchsian groups that are not Fuchsian are Zariski d…

We rigorously define the Liouville action functional for finitely generated, purely loxodromic quasi-Fuchsian group using homology and cohomology double complexes naturally associated with the group action. We prove that the classical action - the critical point of the Liouville action functional, considered as a funct…

We prove that the renormalized volume of almost-Fuchsian hyperbolic $3$-manifolds is non-negative, with equality only for Fuchsian manifolds.

We compare critical exponent for quasi-Fuchsian groups acting on the hyperbolic 3-space, $\mathbb{H}^3$, and on invariant disks embedded in $\mathbb{H}^3$. We give a rigidity theorem for all embedded surfaces when the action is Fuchsian and a rigidity theorem for negatively curved surfaces when the action is quasi-Fuch…

Unique compact Fuchsian manifolds with convex boundary are determined by their boundary.

We study the Liouville action for quasi-Fuchsian groups with parabolic and elliptic elements. In particular, when the group is Fuchsian, the contribution of elliptic elements to the classical Liouville action is derived in terms of the Bloch-Wigner functions. We prove the first and second variation formulas for the cla…

The paper confirms a conjecture about foliating almost Fuchsian manifolds with CMC surfaces.

Let Gamma be a cocompact lattice in SO(1,n). A representation rho: Gamma \to SO(2,n) is quasi-Fuchsian if it is faithfull, discrete, and preserves an acausal subset in the boundary of anti-de Sitter space - a particular case is the case of Fuchsian representations, ie. composition of the inclusions of Gamma in SO(1,n) …

The trace set of a Fuchsian group $Γ$ ist the set of length of closed geodesics in the surface $Γ\backslash \mathbb{H}$. Luo and Sarnak showed that the trace set of a cofinite arithmetic Fuchsian group satisfies the bounded clustering property. Sarnak then conjectured that the B-C property actually characterizes arithm…

We prove that any nonabelian, non-Fuchsian representation of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is the holonomy of a folded hyperbolic structure on the surface. Using similar ideas, we establish that any non-Fuchsian representation rho of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is strictly dominated by some Fuchsian representation j,…

We define a fuchsian affine action of a surface group to be such that the linear part factors through a representation of $SL(2,{\mathbb R})$. We prove a fuchsian affine action of a surface group is never proper.

The article constructs Fuchsian Schottky groups with conformal boundaries.

We prove the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for cocompact Fuchsian groups, thereby giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed spin manifold of dimension greater than four with fundamental group cocompact Fuchsian to admit a metric of positive scalar curvature.

This paper shows how to approximate CAT(-1) representations by Fuchsian ones.

We consider the space of all quasifuchsian metrics on the product of a surface with the real line. We show that, in a neighborhood of the submanifold consisting of fuchsian metrics, every non-fuchsian metric is completely determined by the bending data of its convex core.

New proof shows Fuchsian groups have irrational length spectra.

In the study of Fuchsian groups, it is a nontrivial problem to determine a set of generators. Using a dynamical approach we construct for any cocompact arithmetic Fuchsian group a fundamental region in $\mathbf{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ from which we determine a set of small generators.

In this paper we give the characterization of Fuchsian groups acting on quaternionic hyperbolic 2-space.

In this paper, we study Fuchsian loci of ${\rm PSL}_n(\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin components. In particular, using the Bonahon-Dreyer parametrization of ${\rm PSL}_n(\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin components, we give an explicit parametrization of Fuchsian loci of a pair of pants.
