Description: |
Let G be a Lie group. The moduli space of representations of a
finitely generated group in G is by definition the set of homomorphims of the
finitely generated group to G, considered up to overall conjugation by G. Of
particular interest is the case when the finitely generated group is the
fundamental group of a closed oriented surface X. In this case the geometry and
topology of the moduli space of representations reflect properties of both the
surface X and the Lie group G. In this talk we shall concentrate on the case
when G is the group of isometries of a classical Hermitian symmetric space of
the non-compact type, studying topological properties of the corresponding
moduli space.
