Smooth Character Varieties for Torus Knot Groups
Abstract
Semisimple representations of the free product Zp*Zq determine θ-semistable representations of a specific quiver Qpq. The dimension vectors of θ-stable representations of this quiver were classified by Le Bruyn and Adriaenssens. In this paper we classify the moduli spaces Mαss(Qpq,θ) which are smooth projective varieties.
