The topology of moduli spaces of free group representations
Carlos Florentino, Sean Lawton
For any complex affine reductive group G and a fixed choice of maximal compact subgroup K, we show that the G-character variety of a free group strongly deformation retracts to the…

Algebraic Independence in SL(3,C) Character Varieties of Free Groups
Sean Lawton
Let X be the moduli space of SL(3,C) representations of a free group of rank r. In this paper we describe maximal algebraically independent subsets of certain minimal sets of coord…

Obtaining the One-Holed Torus from Pants: Duality in an SL(3,C)-Character Variety
Sean Lawton
The SL(3,C)-representation variety R of a free group F arises naturally by considering surface group representations for a surface with boundary. There is a SL(3,C)-action on the c…
