Fundamental Groups of Commuting Elements in Lie Groups

Abstract

We compute the fundamental group of the spaces of ordered commuting $n$-tuples of elements in the Lie groups SU(2), U(2) and SO(3). For SO(3) the computation of the mod-2 cohomology of the components of these spaces is also obtained.
