On entropy, regularity and rigidity for convex representations of hyperbolic manifolds (Q2634880)

The first result of the paper is the following: Theorem A. Let \(\Gamma\) be a convex cocompact group of a \(\mathrm{CAT}(-1)\) space \(X\), \(\xi \in X\) and \(\rho: \Gamma \rightarrow \mathrm{PGL}(d,\mathbb R)\) be an irreducible convex representation with \(d\geq 3\). Then \(\alpha h_\rho \leq h_\Gamma\) and \(\alpha\mathbb H_\rho \leq h_\Gamma\), when \(\xi\) is \(\alpha\)-Hölder. The main purpose of the paper is to extend the inequality \(\alpha h_{\rho_2} \leq h_{\rho_1}\) for convex representations. Here \(h_\rho\) is the entropy of \(\rho\) and \(\alpha\) is the exponent of the map \(\partial_\infty\Gamma \rightarrow \rho (R^d)\).
