Anosov representations and dominated splittings

Abstract

We provide a link between Anosov representations introduced by Labourie and dominated splitting of linear cocycles. This allows us to obtain equivalent characterizations for Anosov representations and to recover recent results due to Guéritaud-Guichard-Kassel-Wienhard and Kapovich-Leeb-Porti by different methods. We also give characterizations in terms of multicones and cone-types inspired in the work of Avila-Bochi-Yoccoz and Bochi-Gourmelon. Finally we provide a new proof of the higher rank Morse Lemma of Kapovich-Leeb-Porti.

Published version. A wrong claim about cone types in Sec. 5.3 was struck out; this claim wasn't used
