An introduction to projective Anosov representations
Francois Labourie introduced the theory of Anosov representations
in his study of Hitchin representations and they have come to be regarded
as the correct analogue of convex cocompact representations into rank one
Lie groups in the setting of higher rank semi-simple Lie groups. I will introduce
a special class of Anosov representations, called projective Anosov representations,
and explain how Benoist's work shows that holonomy maps of strictly convex
projective structures on closed manifolds are projective Anosov representations. Speaker(s): Richard Canary (University of Michigan)
