Cross ratios for maximal representations- Tobias Strubel

Conference Title: GEAR Retreat 2012 Theme: Special Representations (5 of 5) Title: Cross ratios for maximal representations Speaker: Tobias Strubel , Princeton University; Date and Time: Monday August 6, 15:20 Description: Strict cross ratios associated with Hitchin representations have been introduced by Labourie. In my talk I will present a construction of a strict cross ratio for every maximal representation of a surface group into Sp(2n,R), which can be generalized to all maximal representations into Hermitian Lie groups of tube type. This is joint work with Tobias Hartnick. Sponsor: GEAR Network Local host: UIUC Department of Mathematics Funding provided by: National Science Foundation Research Networks in Mathematical Sciences programAbstract: Tobias Strubel, in this GEAR Retreat 2012 session on Special Representations, will discuss strict cross ratio for every maximal representation of a surface group into Sp(2n,R), and its relationship to Hermitian Lie groups.
