Deforming convex projective manifolds

Daryl Cooper, Darren Long and Stephan Tillmann

Geometry & Topology 22 (2018) 1349–1404
Abstract

We study a properly convex real projective manifold with (possibly empty) compact, strictly convex boundary, and which consists of a compact part plus finitely many convex ends. We extend a theorem of Koszul, which asserts that for a compact manifold without boundary the holonomies of properly convex structures form an open subset of the representation variety. We also give a relative version for noncompact (G,X) manifolds of the openness of their holonomies.
