AbstractThis paper treats the moduli space g,1(Λ) of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g with one boundary component which send the loop around the boundary to an element conjugate to exp Λ, where Λ is in the fundamental alcove of a Lie algebra. We construct natural line bundles over g,1(Λ) and exhibit natural homology cycles representing the Poincaré dual of the first Chern class. We use these cycles to prove differential equations satisfied by the symplectic volumes of these spaces. Finally we give a bound on the degree of a nonvanishing element of a particular subring of the cohomology of the moduli space of stable bundles of coprime rank k and degree d.

AbstractWe study the space of commuting elements in the central product Gm,p of m copies of the special unitary group SU(p), where p is a prime number. In particular, a computation for the number of path-connected components of these spaces is given and the geometry of the moduli space Rep(ℤn, Gm,p) of isomorphism classes of flat connections on principal Gm,p-bundles over the n-torus is completely described for all values of n, m and p.
