We show that for every non-elementary hyperbolic group, an associated topological flow space admits a coding based on a transitive subshift of finite type. Applications include regularity results for Manhattan curves, the uniqueness of measures of maximal Hausdorff dimension with potentials, and the real analyticity of intersection numbers for families of dominated representation, thus providing a direct proof of a result established by Bridgeman, Canary, Labourie and Sambarino in 2015.

Figure 1. A part of a strictly invariant family of multicones of index $ 1 $ for $ ( \Gamma, S) $, where $ \Gamma $ is a genus two surface group and $ S $ is the set of translation generators. The arrows indicate the destinations of intervals after translation by a single generator $ s \in S $ (bottom), and an expanded picture shows a small portion of the disk bounded by the thick arc (top)
Figure 2. The histograms (the number of steps $ n = 10^3 $ and the number of samples $ 10^4 $) for the distributions of angles in $ [-3.14\dots, 3.14\dots] $ of $ \rho(w_n).o $ where $ o $ is the center of the unit disk: $ \{w_n\}_{n = 0, 1, \dots} $ is associated with the Markov chain on the strongly connected component in the underlying directed graph in an automatic structure for $ ( \Gamma, S) $ (left), and $ \{w_n\}_{n = 0, 1, \dots} $ is the simple random walk on the Cayley graph for $ ( \Gamma, S) $ (right)
