Abstract: Let Gamma be a cocompact lattice in SO(1,n). A representation rho: Gamma o SO(2,n) is quasi-Fuchsian if it is faithfull, discrete, and preserves an acausal subset in the boundary of anti-de Sitter space - a particular case is the case of Fuchsian representations, ie. composition of the inclusions of Gamma in SO(1,n) and of SO(1,n) in SO(2,n). We prove that if a representation is Anosov in the sense of Labourie then it is also quasi-Fuchsian. We also show that Fuchsian representations are Anosov : the fact that all quasi-Fuchsian representations are Anosov will be proved in a second part by T. Barbot. The study involves the geometry of locally anti-de Sitter spaces: quasi-Fuchsian representations are holonomy representations of globally hyperbolic spacetimes diffeomorphic to the product R imes GammaH^n and locally modeled on the anti-de Sitter space.
