Recall that the group $PSL(2,\mathbb R)$ is isomorphic to $PSp(2,\mathbb R),\ SO_0(1,2)$ and $PU(1,1).$ The goal of this paper is to examine the various ways in which Fuchsian representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of…

We give a description of several representation varieties of the fundamental group of the complement of the figure eight knot in PGL(3,C) or SL(3,C). We moreover obtain an explicit parametrization of matrices generating the representation…

Denote the free group on two letters by F2 and the SL(3,C)-representation variety of F2 by R = Hom(F2, SL(3, C)). There is a SL(3,C)-action on the coordinate ring of R, and the geometric points of the subring of invariants is an affine…

We define Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for representations of surface groups to ${\rm SL}(3,{\mathbb C})$. We also show how these coordinates relate to the classical Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and to their generalisations by Kourouniotis,…

In this paper we show that a surface in P^3 parametrized over a 2-dimensional toric variety T can be represented by a matrix of linear syzygies if the base points are finite in number and form locally a complete intersection. This…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g\geq 2$ such that $G$ acts faithfully and orientation-preserving on a closed compact orientable surface of genus $g$. This article is an overview of some results relating the…

In this paper we present an algorithm for computing a matrix representation for a surface in P^3 parametrized over a 2-dimensional toric variety T. This algorithm follows the ideas of [Botbol-Dickenstein-Dohm-09] and it was implemented in…

Minimal and CMC surfaces in $S^3$ can be treated via their associated family of flat $\SL(2,\C)$-connections. In this the paper we parametrize the moduli space of flat $\SL(2,\C)$-connections on the Lawson minimal surface of genus 2 which…

A unifying overview of the ways to parameterize the linear group GL(4.C) and its subgroups is given. As parameters for this group there are taken 16 coefficients G = G(A,B,A_{k}, B_{k}, F_{kl}) in resolving matrix G in terms of 16 basic…

Abstr.: The classical r-matrix implied by the quantum k-Poincare algebra of Lukierski,Nowicki and Ruegg is used to generate a Poisson structure on the ISL(2,C) group. A quantum deformation of the ISL(2,C) group ( on the Hopf algebra level )…

Let $S_g$ be a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $\mathcal{T}_g$ be the Teichm\"uller space of $S_g$. Let $\mathcal{H}_g$ denotes the space of all hyperelliptic surfaces of genus $g$. For $g\geq 3$, we have proved that…

We show that an element w of a free group F on n generators defines a surjective word map of PSL(2,C)^n onto PSL(2,C) unless w belongs to the second derived subgroup of F. We also describe certain words maps that are surjective on SL(2,C) x…
