A taut sutured manifold $M$ is a sutured manifold whose boundary components $R_+$ and $R_-$ are incompressible and realize the Thurston norm of their common homology class. A repre…

Let $M=(M,R_-,R_+,\gamma)$ be a taut sutured manifold. A representation $\alpha\colon\pi_1(M)\to\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$ makes $M$ a homology product when the inclusion-indu…
