Tent property of the growth indicator functions and applications (Q6183200)

In the paper under reviewing the authors study the tent property of the grow indicator functions of real algebraic groups and applications. Let \(\Gamma\) be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected semisimple real algebraic group \(G\) of rank \(k=\mathrm{rank}\; G\), as the main result of the paper under reviewing, the author proved that: -- the grow indicator function \(\psi_\Gamma(v): \mathfrak a \subset \mathrm{Lie}\; G \to \mathbb R \cup -\infty\), satisfies the estimation \(\psi_\Gamma(v)\leq T_\Gamma(v) :=\min_{1\leq i \leq k} \delta_{\alpha_i} \alpha_i(v),\) by the tent function \(T_\Gamma\) (Definition 1.1, Theorem 1.2), where \(\Delta= \{\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_k\}\) is the set of simple roots of \((\mathfrak g, \mathfrak a)\); -- When the discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\) is Zariski dense \(\Delta\)-Anosov, the inequality is strictly, \(\psi_\Gamma(v) < \frac{1}{k} \sum_{1\leq i\leq k} \delta_{\alpha_i}\alpha_i(v), \forall v \ne 0, k \geq 2\) (Theorem 1.4); -- And when the discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\) is a convex cocompact subgroup in \(\prod_{i=1}^k \mathrm{SO}(n_i, 1)\) or a Hitchin subgroup of \(\mathrm{PSL}(d,\mathbb R)\), for \(v = \mathrm{diag}(t_1, \dots,t_d)\) in the positive cone \(\mathfrak a^+\), \(\psi_\Gamma(v) \leq \min_{1\leq i \leq d-1} (t_i - t_{i+1})\) (Corollary 1.10)
