Finite step rigidity of Hitchin representations and special Margulis–Smilga spacetimes
摘要
In this article we use the “escape from subvarieties lemma” introduced by Eskin–Mozes–Oh to prove finite step rigidity results for the Jordan/Lyapunov projection spectra of Hitchin representations and the Margulis invariant spectra of some special Margulis–Smilga spacetimes. In the process, we also prove a similar finite step rigidity result for the Cartan spectra of representations of a finitely generated group inside a connected semisimple real algebraic Lie group with trivial center.
