Abstract

Let λq be the irreducible representation of SL(2, ℝ) in SL(q, ℝ). Define a Fuchsian subgroup of SL(q, ℝ) to be a subgroup conjugate to a discrete subgroup of λq(SL(2, ℝ)). We prove in this paper that the fundamental group of a compact surface does not act properly on the affine space by affine tranformations if its linear part is Fuchsian.
