Abstract
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups , and to describe their connections to classical representation theory, as well as other structures. Various properties are given when is replaced by a small category, or the discrete group is given by a right-angled Artin group.
