Rigidity of convex cocompact diagonal actions

Abstract:

Convex subsets in higher-rank symmetric spaces are pretty rigid compared to rank 1 symmetric spaces, as proved by Kleiner and Leeb. In this talk, I will talk about convex subsets in products of negatively curved Hadamard manifolds. In particular, we show that the limit cone is 1-dimensional if the diagonal action is convex cocompact, which induces some rigidity-type results of the diagonal representation. This is joint work with Subhadip Dey.
