Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type (m,n). This has a presentation G=<x,y|x^m=y^n>. We find the geometric description of the character variety X(G) of characters of representations of G into SL(3,C),…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type $(m,n)$. This has a presentation $G=<x,y|x^m=y^n>$. We find the geometric description of the character variety $X(G)$ of characters of representations of $G$ into…

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…

Given $\mathbf{n}=(n_{1},\ldots,n_{r})\in\mathbb{N}^r$, let $\Gamma_{\mathbf{n}}$ be a group presentable as $$\left\langle \gamma_{1},\ldots,\gamma_{r}\:|\:\gamma_{1}^{n_{1}}=\gamma_{2}^{n_{2}}=\cdots=\gamma_{r}^{n_{r}}\right\rangle. $$ If…

We study the representation theory of the fundamental group of the complement of a Hopf link with n twists. A general framework is described to analyze the $SL_r(C)$-representation varieties of these twisted Hopf links as byproduct of a…

We describe the geometry of the character variety of representations of the knot group $\Gamma_{m,n}=\langle x,y| x^n=y^m\rangle$ into the group $\mathrm{SU}(3)$, by stratifying the character variety into strata correspoding to totally…

We compute the E-polynomials of the moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a complex curve of genus g=3 into $ SL(2,C), and also of the moduli space of twisted representations. The case of genus g=1,2 has already been…

We determine the PSL_2(C) and SL_2(C) character varieties of the once-punctured torus bundles with tunnel number one, i.e. the once-punctured torus bundles that arise from filling one boundary component of the Whitehead link exterior. In…

We describe the geometry of the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of the complement of a Hopf link with $n$ twists, namely $\Gamma_{n}=\langle x,y \,| \, [x^n,y]=1 \rangle$ into the group $\mathrm{SU}(r)$. For…

Based on some analogies with the Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, we define Hodge-type numerical invariants (called H-numbers) of any, not necessarily algebraic, link in $S^3$. They contain the same information as the…

In this paper, we compute the motive of the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of the complement of an arbitrary torus knot into $SL_4(k)$, for any algebraically closed field $k$ of zero characteristic. For that…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group. A toric principal $G$-bundle is a principal $G$-bundle over a toric variety together with a torus action commuting with the $G$-action. Extending the Klyachko classification of toric vector bundles,…

Given a finitely generated group G, the set Hom(G,SL_2 C) inherits the structure of an algebraic variety R(G)called the "representation variety" of G. This algebraic variety is an invariant of G. Let G_{pt}=< a, b; a^p= b^t>, where p, t are…

We compute the Kauffman skein module of the complement of torus knots in S^3. Precisely, we show that these modules are isomorphic to the algebra of Sl(2,C)-characters tensored with the ring of Laurent polynomials.

We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…

In this paper, we show that the mixed Hodge structures of character varieties are of Hodge--Tate type and that the mixed Hodge polynomials are independent of the choice of generic eigenvalues, which is a conjecture due to Hausel, Letellier…

We derive a closed-form expression for the adjoint polynomials of torus knots and investigate their special properties. The results are presented in the very explicit double sum form and provide a deeper insight into the structure of…

The prime motivation behind this paper is to prove that any torus link can be realized as the union of the one-dimensional connected components of the set of critical values of the argument map restricted to a complex algebraic plane curve.…

Following up on our earlier work and the work of N. Karpenko and A. Merkurjev, we study the essential p-dimension of linear algebraic groups G whose connected component G^0 is a torus.

We consider the moduli space of flat G-bundles over the twodimensional torus, where G is a real, compact, simple Lie group which is not simply connected. We show that the connected components that describe topologically non-trivial bundles…
