We examine complements (inside products of a smooth projective complex
curve of arbitrary genus) of unions of diagonals indexed by the edges of an
arbitrary simple graph. We use Orlik–Solomon models associated to these
quasiprojective manifolds to compute pairs of analytic germs at the origin, both for
rank- and
rank-
representation varieties of their fundamental groups, and for
degree-
topological Green–Lazarsfeld loci. As a corollary, we describe all regular surjections with
connected generic fiber, defined on the above complements onto smooth complex curves
of negative Euler characteristic. We show that the nontrivial part at the origin, for both
rank- representation
varieties and their degree-
jump loci, comes from curves of general type via the above regular maps. We
compute explicit finite presentations for the Malcev Lie algebras of the fundamental
groups, and we analyze their formality properties.
