Intersection cohomology of representation spaces of surface groups
read the original abstract
We show by studying the symplectic geometry of the extended moduli space that the intersection cohomology of the representation space $Hom(\pi_1(\Sigma),G)/G$ for a simply connected compact Lie group $G$ is naturally embedded into the $G$ equivariant cohomology of $Hom(\pi_1(\Sigma),G)$ where $\Sigma$ is a closed Riemann surface. This enables us to compute the intersection cohomology as a graded vector space with intersection pairing, in terms of the equivariant cohomology ring. The case where $G=SU(2)$ -- the moduli space of rank 2 holomorphic vector bundles of even degree -- is discussed in detail.
