v2 : in Theorem 1.5, the fact that the action of the mapping classgroup is proper is postponed to another paper. Theorem 4.3.

Scientific paper

In 1990, Hitchin's proved a component of the space of representations of a surface group in SL(n,R) is homeomorphic to a ball. For n=2,3 this component has been identified with the holonomies of geometric structures (hyperbolic for n=2, or real projective for n=3). In the preprint "Anosov flows, Surface groups and Curves in Projective Space", we extend this interpretation to higher dimension and show every representation in Hitchin's component is attached to a (special) curve in projective space, thus giving a geometric interpretation of these representations. We also prove these representations are faithful, discrete and purely loxodromic (or hyperbolic)
