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

Abstract: Given a convex representation

h o : G a m m a o e x t r m P G L (d, m a t h b b R)

of a convex co-compact group

G a m m a

of

m a t h b b H^{k}

we find upper bounds for the quantity

a l p h a h_{h} o,

where

h_{h} o

is the entropy of

h o

and

a l p h a

is the H"older exponent of the equivariant map

p a r t i a l G a m m a o m a t h b b P (m a t h b b R^{d}) .

We also give rigidity statements when the upper bound is attained. We then study Hitchin representations and prove that if

h o : p i_{1} S i g m a o e x t r m P S L (d, m a t h b b R)

is in the Hitchin component then

a l p h a h_{h} o l e q 2 / (d - 1)

(where

a l p h a

is the H"older exponent of the map

z e t a : p a r t i a l m a t h b b H^{2} o m a t h s c r F

) with equality if and only if

h o

is Fuchsian.
