Abstract: The focus of this talk will be the study of representations of the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus g (in short, a surface group) inside the Lie groups PSL(n,C), for any g and n larger than 1. Surface group representations inside PSL(2,C) (such as quasi-…

Abstract: For the past 90 years, a fundamental question in classical homotopy theory is to understand the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The most modern method to study these groups is to compare them with the ``motivic stable homotopy groups of spheres". Motivic…
