Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a surface group of higher genus. Let $h{o}_0:GammaoPGL(V)$ be a discrete faithful representation with image contained in the natural embedding of $SL(2,mathbbR)$ in $PGL(3,mathbbR)$ as a group preserving a point and a disjoint projective line in the projective plane. We prove that such a representation is $(G,Y)$-Anosov (following the terminology of cite{labourieanosov}), where $Y$ is the frame bundle. More generally, we prove that all the deformations $ho:GammaoPGL(3,mathbbR)$ studied in cite{barflag} are $(G,Y)$-Anosov. As a corollary, we obtain all the main results of cite{barflag}, and extend them to any small deformation of $h{o}_0$, not necessarily preserving a point or a projective line in the projective space: in particular, there is a $ho(Gamma)$-invariant solid torus $Omega$ in the flag variety. The quotient space $$ is a flag manifold, naturally equipped with two 1-dimensional transversely projective foliations arising from the projections of the flag variety on the projective plane and its dual; if $ho$ is strongly irreducible, these foliations are not minimal. More precisely, if one of these foliations is minimal, then it is topologically conjugate to the strong stable foliation of a double covering of a geodesic flow, and $ho$ preserves a point or a projective line in the projective plane. All these results hold for any $(G,Y)$-Anosov representation which is not quasi-Fuchsian, i.e., does not preserve a strictly convex domain in the projective plane.
