Abstract
AbstractWe prove that the Blaschke locus has the structure of a finite dimensional smooth manifold away from the Teichmüller space and study its Riemannian manifold structure with respect to the covariance metric introduced by Guillarmou, Knieper and Lefeuvre in Guillarmou et al. in (Ergod Theory Dyn Syst 43:974–1022, 2021). We also identify some families of geodesics in the Blaschke locus arising from Hitchin representations for orbifolds and show that they have infinite length with respect to the covariance metric.
