Homomorphisms of the Fundamental Group of a Surface into PSU(1,1), and the Action of the Mapping Class Group.

Konstantinou, Panagiota January 2006 (has links)
In this paper we consider the action of the mapping class group of a surface on the space of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a surface into PSU(1,1). Goldman conjectured that when the surface is closed and of genus bigger than one, the action on non-Teichmuller connected components of the associated moduli space (i.e. the space of homomorphisms modulo conjugation) is ergodic. One approach to this question is to use sewing techniques which requires that one considers the action on the level of homomorphisms, and for surfaces with boundary. In this paper we consider the case of the one-holed torus with boundary condition, and we determine regions where the action is ergodic. This uses a combination of techniques developed by Goldman, and Pickrell and Xia. The basic result is an analogue of the result of Goldman's at the level of moduli.

Théorie de Hodge mixte et variétés des représentations des groupes fondamentaux des variétés algébriques complexes / Mixed Hodge theory and representation varieties of fundamental groups of complex algebraic varieties

Lefèvre, Louis-Clément 25 June 2018 (has links)
La théorie de Hodge mixte de Deligne fournit des structures supplémentaires sur les groupes de cohomologie des variétés algébriques complexes. Depuis, des structures de Hodge mixtes ont été construites sur les groupes d'homotopie rationnels de telles variétés par Morgan et Hain. Dans cette lignée, nous construisons des structures de Hodge mixtes sur des invariants associés aux représentations linéaires des groupes fondamentaux des variétés algébriques complexes lisses. Le point de départ est la théorie de Goldman et Millson qui relie la théorie des déformations de telles représentations à la théorie des déformations via les algèbres de Lie différentielles graduées. Ceci a été relu par P. Eyssidieux et C. Simpson dans le cas des variétés kählériennes compactes. Dans le cas non compact, et pour des représentations d'image finie, Kapovich et Millson ont construit seulement des graduations non canoniques. Pour construire des structures de Hodge mixtes dans le cas non compact et l'unifier avec le cas compact traité par Eyssidieux-Simpson, nous ré-écrivons la théorie de Goldman-Millson classique en utilisant des idées plus modernes de la théorie des déformations dérivée et une construction d'algèbres L-infini due à Fiorenza et Manetti. Notre structure de Hodge mixte provient alors directement du H^0 d'un complexe de Hodge mixte explicite, de façon similaire à la méthode de Hain pour le groupe fondamental, et dont la fonctorialité apparaît clairement. / The mixed Hodge theory of Deligne provides additional structures on the cohomology groups of complex algebraic varieties. Since then, mixed Hodge structures have been constructed on the rational homotopy groups of such varieties by Morgan and Hain. In this vein, we construct mixed Hodge structures on invariants associated to linear representations of fundamental groups of smooth complex algebraic varieties. The starting point is the theory of Goldman and Millson that relates the deformation theory of such representations to the deformation theory via differential graded Lie algebras. This was reviewed by P. Eyssidieux and C. Simpson in the case of compact Kähler manifolds. In the non-compact case, and for representations with finite image, Kapovich and Millson constructed only non-canonical gradings. In order to construct mixed Hodge structures in the non-compact case and unify it with the compact case treated by Eyssidieux-Simpson, we re-write the classical Goldman-Millson theory using more modern ideas from derived deformation theory and a construction of L-infinity algebras due to Fiorenza and Manetti. Our mixed Hodge structure comes then directly from the H^0 of an explicit mixed Hodge complex, in a similar way as the method of Hain for the fundamental group, and whose functoriality appears clearly.
