GEOMETRY SEMINAR ...................................... Relatively Anosov representations: a dynamical notion of geometric finiteness
Feng Zhu (U Wisconsin)
Putting hyperbolic metrics on a finite-type surface S gives us linear representations of the fundamental group of S into PSL(2,R) with many nice geometric and dynamical properties: for instance they are discrete and faithful, and in fact stably quasi-isometrically embedded.
In this talk, we will introduce (relatively) Anosov representations, which generalise this picture to higher-rank Lie groups such as PSL(d,R) for d>2, giving us a class of (relatively) hyperbolic subgroups there with similarly good geometric and dynamical properties.
This is mostly joint work with Andrew Zimmer.
