I will discuss the topology of the space Hom(N,G) of homomorphisms from a finitely generated group N into a reductive complex linear algebraic group G (e.g. a special linear group). When K is a maximal compact subgroup of G (e.g. the subgroup of...

I will discuss joint work with Lior Silberman in which we describe the topology of spaces of representations of Baumslag-Solitar groups into complex reductive algebraic groups.
