Positivity, cross-ratios and the Collar Lemma
Abstract
We prove that -positive representations of fundamental groups of surfaces (possibly cusped or of infinite type) satisfy a collar lemma, and their associated cross-ratios are positive. As a consequence we deduce that -positive representations form closed subsets of the representation variety.
