The representation space X(G) = Hom (π, G)/G of the fundamental group π of a Riemann surface Σ of genus g ≥ 2 is the symplectic reduction of the extended moduli space defined in [6]. Using this description, we study the local structure of X(G) and show that the assumptions of the splitting theorem [11, Theorem 7.7] are satisfied. Hence the middle perversity intersection cohomology is canonically isomorphic to a subspace of the equivariant cohomology [Formula: see text] which can be computed quite explicitly. The case when G = SU(2) is discussed in detail.

Let Σg be a compact Riemann surface of genus g, and G = SU(n). The central element c = diag(e2πid/n, …, e2πid/n) for d coprime to n is introduced. The Verlinde formula is proved for the Riemann–Roch number of a line bundle over the moduli space [Mscr ]g, 1(c, Λ) of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g with one boundary component, for which the loop around the boundary is constrained to lie in the conjugacy class of cexp(Λ) (for Λ ∈ t+), and also for the moduli space [Mscr ]g, b(c, Λ) of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g with s + 1 boundary components for which the loop around the 0th boundary component is sent to the central element c and the loop around the jth boundary component is constrained to lie in the conjugacy class of exp(Λ(j)) for Λ(j) ∈ t+. The proof is valid for Λ(j) in suitable neighbourhoods of 0.

AbstractThere is a well-known correspondence (due to Mehta and Seshadri in the unitary case, and extended by Bhosle and Ramanathan to other groups), between the symplectic variety Mh of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact connected Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes h at the punctures, and a complex variety of holomorphic bundles on the unpunctured surface with a parabolic structure at the puncture points. For G = SU(2), we build a symplectic variety P of pairs (representations of the fundamental group into G, “weighted frame” at the puncture points), and a corresponding complex variety of moduli of “framed parabolic bundles”, which encompass respectively all of the spaces Mh, , in the sense that one can obtain Mh from P by symplectic reduction, andMh from by a complex quotient. This allows us to explain certain features of the toric geometry of the SU(2) moduli spaces discussed by Jeffrey and Weitsman, by giving the actual toric variety associated with their integrable system.

Abstract For $G = \mathrm {GL}_2, \mathrm {SL}_2, \mathrm {PGL}_2$ we compute the intersection E-polynomials and the intersection Poincaré polynomials of the G-character variety of a compact Riemann surface C and of the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles on C of degree zero. We derive several results concerning the P=W conjectures for these singular moduli spaces.

The purpose of this article is to utilize some exiting words in the fundamental group of a Riemann surface to acquire new words that are represented by filling closed geodesics.

Abstract The main result of this paper is the statement that the Hodge theoretic Donaldson–Thomas invariant for a quiver with zero potential and a generic stability condition agrees with the compactly supported intersection cohomology of the closure of the stable locus inside the associated coarse moduli space of semistable quiver representations. In fact, we prove an even stronger result relating the Donaldson–Thomas “function” to the intersection complex. The proof of our main result relies on a relative version of the integrality conjecture in Donaldson–Thomas theory. This will be the topic of the second part of the paper, where the relative integrality conjecture will be proven in the motivic context.

We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of four projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi–Yau 3-folds with small Hodge numbers. In particular, the Picard number is 1 and the number of moduli is 5. Furthermore, the fundamental group is nontrivial. We also construct a new family of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero, K2 = 3 and fundamental group of order 16. We show that this family dominates an irreducible component of dimension 4 of the moduli space of the surfaces of general type.

AbstractWe prove that, given a smooth projective curve C of genus g≥2, the forgetful morphism $\mathcal {M}_{\mathbf {O}_r} \longrightarrow \mathcal {M}_{\mathbf {GL}_r}$ (respectively $\mathcal M_{\mathbf {Sp}_{2r}}\longrightarrow \mathcal M_{\mathbf {GL}_{2r}}$) from the moduli space of orthogonal (respectively symplectic) bundles to the moduli space of all vector bundles over C is an embedding. Our proof relies on an explicit description of a set of generators for the polynomial invariants on the representation space of a quiver under the action of a product of classical groups.
