Geometry of representation spaces in SU(2)
نویسنده
چکیده
These notes of a course given at IRMA in April 2009 cover some aspects of the representation theory of fundamental groups of manifolds of dimension at most 3 in compact Lie groups, mainly SU(2). We give detailed examples, develop the techniques of twisted cohomology and gauge theory. We review Chern-Simons theory and describe an integrable system for the representation space of a surface. Finally, we explain some basic ideas on geometric quantization. We apply them to the case of representation spaces by computing Bohr-Sommerfeld orbits with metaplectic correction.

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces in Euclidean and Minkowski 3-spaces
Spacelike constant mean curvature surfaces in Minkowski 3-space L have an infinite dimensional generalized Weierstrass representation. This is analogous to that given by Dorfmeister, Pedit and Wu for constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean space, replacing the group SU(2) with SU(1, 1). The non-compactness of the latter group, however, means that the Iwasawa decomposition of the loop grou...

Approximation of fixed points for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces
This paper introduces an implicit scheme for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space with respect to a sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup. The main result is to prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...
