We study the topological components of the surface group representations into $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Utilizing the signature formula established in [14], we determine the number of connected components…
We determine the number of connected components of the moduli space for representations of a surface group in the general linear group.
For an important class of arithmetic Dedekind domains O including the ring of integers of not totally complex number fields, we describe explicitly the group of linear characters of SL_2(O). For this, we determine, for arbitrary Dedekind…
We compute the fundamental group of moduli spaces of Lie group valued representations of surface and torus groups.
We compute the characters of real irreducible representations of SL(2,q), the special linear group on q letters, for an odd prime $q$. Moreover, we give the dimensions of these irreducible representations under the actions of cyclic…
We study some basic properties of the variety of characters in PSL(2,C) of a finitely generated group. In particular we give an interpretation of its points as characters of representations. We construct 3-manifolds whose variety of…
We present an efficient method for computing the ${\rm SL}(3,\mathbb{C})$-character varieties of two-generator groups.
We characterize helix surfaces (constant angle surfaces) in the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\r)$. In particular, we give an explicit local description of these surfaces in terms of a suitable curve and a 1-parameter family of…
The aim of this article is to study the SL(2,C)-character scheme of a finitely generated group. Given a presentation of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, we give equations defining the coordinate ring of the scheme of SL(2,C)-characters…
We start with the observation that the quantum group SL_q(2), described in terms of its algebra of functions has a quantum subgroup, which is just a usual Cartan group. Based on this observation we develop a general method of constructing…
It is well-known that special 2-groups can be described in terms of quadratic maps over fields of characteristic 2. In this article we develop methods to compute conjugacy classes, complex representations and characters of a real special…
We give several formulas for the character of an arbitrary irreducible finite--dimensional representation for the Yangian of sl_2.
The goal of these notes is to give a self-contained account of the representation theory of $GL_2$ and $SL_2$ over a finite field, and to give some indication of how the theory works for $GL_n$ over a finite field.
We present results connecting crossratios, representations of surface groups in $SL(n,\mathbb R)$ and in an infinite dimensional group related to the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. More precisely, we show that representations of a…
These lecture notes concern the algebraic geometry of the character variety of a finitely generated group in SL(2,C) from the point of view of skein modules. We focus on the case of surface and 3-manifolds groups and construct the…
We give a new technique for constructing presentations by generators and relations for representations of groups like $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ and $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$. Our results play an important role in recent work of the authors calculating…
Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type (m,n). We study the relationship between SU(2) and SL(2,C)-representations of this group, looking at their characters. Using the description of the SL(2,C)-character…
We classify SL(2;C)-representations of a Brieskorn homology 3-sphere. We show any irreducible representation into SL(2;C) is conjugate to that into either SU(2) or SL(2;R). We also give a construction of SL(2;R)-representations for a…
We give the classification of thick representations and dense representations of the symmetric group over a field of characteristic zero.
