Research

Members of the research group are interested in a variety of topics, including:

• Geometric structures on manifolds, e.g. real and complex projective structures
• Representations of surfaces groups and higher Teichmüller theory
• Geometric and dynamical properties of discrete subgroups of Lie groups
• Group actions on homogeneous spaces and compactifications of (locally) homogeneous spaces
• Positive and causal structures on flag varieties
• Higgs bundles and Hitchin fibrations
