The authors show that Anosov representations of surface groups give rise to geometric structures on compact manifolds. Let \(\Sigma\) be a closed connected orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic of \(G\) be a semisimple Lie group not locally isomorphic to \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\). If \(rho: \pi_1(\Sigma)\to G\) is an Anosov representation, then the authors construct an explicit parabolic subgroup \(Q\) of \(G\) of a domain of discontinuity with compact quotient for the action of \(\pi_1(\Sigma_1(\Sigma)\) on \(G/Q\).
