Guichard-Wienhard geometric-structure conjecture for higher Teichmüller representations
Guichard-Wienhard geometric-structure conjecture for higher Teichmüller representations
Let be a closed surface, let be a simple Lie group, and let be a representation in a higher Teichmüller space. A generalized flag variety is a homogeneous space for a parabolic subgroup . Let be a compact fiber bundle, and let
be the representation induced by the bundle map and by .
Guichard-Wienhard conjecture. There exists a generalized flag variety and a compact fiber bundle such that is the holonomy of a locally homogeneous -structure on .
The conjecture seeks a uniform geometric realization of higher Teichmüller representations. The source gives several examples for Hitchin and maximal representations, but does not establish the assertion in general.
