“…Subsequently, Labourie [Lab01] showed that if Γ is the fundamental group of a compact orientable surface without boundary and of genus atleast two and (ρ, u) : Γ → SO n+1,n ⋉ R 2n+1 is such that ρ is Fuchsian, then (ρ, u)(Γ) does not act properly on R 2n+1 . Recently, Danciger-Zhang [DZ19] and Labourie [Lab22] generalized Labourie's result and showed that if Γ is the fundamental group of a compact orientable surface without boundary and of genus atleast two and (ρ, u) : Γ → SO n+1,n ⋉ R 2n+1 is such that ρ is Hitchin, then (ρ, u)(Γ) does not act properly on R 2n+1 . Both these results generalize the first reformulation of Mess' result.…”
