Résumé

It is natural to ask whether one can characterize the hyperbolicity of algebraic varieties via their topology. In this talk, I will answer this question if their fundamental groups admit a linear representation. Precisely, I will give a sharp condition for the hyperbolicity of complex quasi-projective varieties via representation of fundamental groups. This fits well with the prediction of the strong Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture. As an application, fundamental groups of special quasi-projective varieties must have nilpotent linear quotient, thus proving a conjecture by Campana in the linear case. For colleagues who have interest in the proof, I will use some extra time to briefly explain the strategy of the proof, which is based on Nevanlinna theories, and non-abelian Hodge theories in both Archimedean and non-archimedean settings. This work is based on two joint works with Brotbek-Daskalopoulos-Mese, and Cadorel-Yamanoi.
