Critical-point-free energy for fractional-Toledo representations

Let $S_g$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g\ge2$. For a reductive representation $\rho:\pi_1(S_g)\to\PU(2,1)$, let $E_\rho$ be the energy function on Teichm\"uller space associated to equivariant harmonic maps into $\CH^2$. For every positive integer $d$ with $3\nmid d$, all sufficiently large $h$, and every $g>...
