Metric properties of boundary maps, Hilbert entropy and non-differentiability

Abstract

We interpret the Hilbert entropy of a convex projective structure on a closed higher-genus surface as the Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability points of the limit set in the full flag space $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^3)$. Generalizations for regularity properties of boundary maps between locally conformal representations are also discussed. An ingredient for the proofs is the concept of hyperplane conicality that we introduce for a $\theta$-Anosov representation into a reductive real-algebraic Lie group $G$. In contrast with directional conicality, hyperplane-conical points always have full mass for the corresponding Patterson-Sullivan measure.
