On the traceless SU(2) character variety of the 6-punctured 2-sphere

Paul Kirk

We exhibit the traceless $S U (2)$ character variety of a 6-punctured 2-sphere as a 2-fold branched cover of $C P^{3}$ , branched over the singular Kummer surface, with the br…

Holonomy perturbations in a cylinder, and regularity for traceless SU(2) character varieties of tangles

Christopher M. Herald, Paul Kirk

The traceless $S U (2)$ character variety $R (S^{2}, {a_{i}, b_{i}}_{i = 1}^{n})$ of a $2 n$ -punctured 2-sphere is the symplectic reduction of a Hamiltonian $n$ -torus action on the $S U (2)$ chara…
