Geometry of the ${\rm SL}(3,\mathbb C)$–character variety of torus knots

Vicente Muñoz and Joan Porti

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 16 (2016) 397–426
Abstract

Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type (m,n). It has a presentation G = x,yxm = yn. We find a geometric description of the character variety X(G) of characters of representations of G into SL(3, ), GL(3, ) and PGL(3, ).
