Surface Groups are Frequently Faithful
We show the set of faithful representations of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface group is dense in both irreducible components of the PSL2(K) representation variety, where K = C or R, answering a question of W. Goldman. We also prove the existence of faithful representations into PU(2, 1) with certain nonintegral Toledo invariants.
متن کاملOn Faithful Representations of Lie Groups
where tE:R and I is the unit matrix of degree d. Let GL(K, d) denote the group of all nonsingular matrices of degree d with coefficients in K. Any subgroup of GL(K, d) will be called a linear group of degree d. Let 0 be the identity representation of a linear Lie group G with the Lie algebra 8 so that 9(x) =x (*EG). Then dd is a faithful representation of g and exp dd(X) =0(exp X) =exp X for an...
متن کاملRandom Extensions of Free Groups and Surface Groups Are Hyperbolic
In this note, we prove that a random extension of either the free group FN of rank N ě 3 or of the fundamental group of a closed, orientable surface Sg of genus g ě 2 is a hyperbolic group. Here, a random extension is one corresponding to a subgroup of either OutpFN q or ModpSgq generated by k independent random walks. Our main theorem is that a k–generated random subgroup of ModpSgq or OutpFN ...
متن کاملFixed subgroups are compressed in surface groups
For a compact surface Σ (orientable or not, and with boundary or not) we show that the fixed subgroup, FixB, of any family B of endomorphisms of π1(Σ) is compressed in π1(Σ), i.e., rk(FixB) 6 rk(H) for any subgroup FixB 6 H 6 π1(Σ). On the way, we give a partial positive solution to the inertia conjecture, both for free and for surface groups. We also investigate direct products, G, of finitely...
متن کاملNon-faithful Representations of Surface Groups into Sl(2,c) Which Kill No Simple Closed Curve
We give counterexamples to a version of the simple loop conjecture in which the target group is PSL(2,C). These examples answer a question of Minsky in the negative.
