On representation varieties of 3-manifold groups

Abstract

© 2017, Mathematical Sciences Publishers. All rights reserved. We prove universality theorems (“Murphy’s laws”) for representation varieties of fundamental groups of closed 3-dimensional manifolds. We show that germs of SL(2)- representation schemes of such groups are essentially the same as germs of schemes over ℚ of finite type.
