E-polynomials of $PGL(2,\mathbb{C})$-character varieties of surface groups

Abstract

In this paper, we compute the E-polynomials of the $PGL(2,\mathbb{C})$-character varieties associated to surfaces of genus $g$ with one puncture, for any holonomy around it, and compare it with its Langlands dual case, $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$. The study is based on the stratification of the space of representations and on the analysis of the behaviour of the E-polynomial under fibrations.
