Convex projective structures on Gromov–Thurston manifolds
Gromov and Thurston in [10] constructed, for each n 4, examples of compact n– manifolds which admit metrics of negative curvature, with arbitrarily small pinching constants, but do not admit metrics of constant curvature. We review these examples in Section 3. The main goal of this paper is to put convex projective structures on Gromov– Thurston examples. Suppose that RP is an open subset and...
متن کاملDeforming Convex Projective Manifolds
We study a properly convex real projective manifold with (possibly empty) compact, strictly convex boundary, and which consists of a compact part plus finitely many convex ends. We extend a theorem of Koszul which asserts that for a compact manifold without boundary the holonomies of properly convex structures form an open subset of the representation variety. We also give a relative version fo...
متن کاملOn convex projective manifolds and cusps
This study of properly or strictly convex real projective manifolds introduces notions of parabolic, horosphere and cusp. Results include a Margulis lemma and in the strictly convex case a thick-thin decomposition. Finite volume cusps are shown to be projectively equivalent to cusps of hyperbolic manifolds. This is proved using a characterization of ellipsoids in projective space. Except in dim...
متن کاملConvex Real Projective Structures on Compact Surfaces
The space of inequivalent representations of a compact surface S with χ(S) < 0 as a quotient of a convex domain in RP by a properly discontinuous group of projective transformations is a cell of dimension
متن کاملEntropies of Compact Strictly Convex Projective Manifolds
Let M be a compact manifold of dimension n with a strictly convex projective structure. We consider the geodesic flow of the Hilbert metric on it which is known to be Anosov. We prove that its topological entropy is less than n − 1, with equality if and only if the structure is Riemannian, that is hyperbolic. As a corollary, we get that the volume entropy of a divisible strictly convex set is l...
