Abstract

Let $Γ\subset \mathsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ be a lattice and $ρ:Γ\to \mathsf{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal representation. We show that $ρ$ satisfies a measurable $(1,1,2)-$hypertransversality condition. With this we define a measurable Gromov product and the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure associated to the unstable Jacobian introduced by Pozzetti, Sambarino and Wienhard. As a main application, we prove a strong entropy rigidity result for $ρ$.
