Dimension of representation and character varieties for two- and three-orbifolds

Joan Porti

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 1905–1967
Abstract

We consider varieties of representations and characters of 2– and 3–dimensional orbifolds in semisimple Lie groups, and we focus on computing their dimension. For hyperbolic 3–orbifolds, we consider the component of the variety of characters that contains the holonomy composed with the principal representation, and show that its dimension equals half the dimension of the variety of characters of the boundary. We also show that this is a lower bound for the dimension of generic components. We furthermore provide tools for computing dimensions of varieties of characters of 2–orbifolds, including the Hitchin component. We apply this computation to the dimension growth of varieties of characters of some 3–dimensional manifolds in SL (n, ).
