We show that a surface group contained in a reductive real algebraic group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless its Zariski closure acts transitively on a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type. This is a kind of converse to a rigidity result of Burger, Iozzi and Wienhard.
Maximal representations in infinite dimensional Hermitian spaces are studied with boundary maps.
Our main result is that the image of the quantum representation of a central extension of the mapping class group of the genus closed orientable surface at a prime is a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of some higher rank algebraic semi-simple Lie group defined over $\Q$. As an applicat…
