Abstract:

Given a finitely generated group $\pi$ and a linear algebraic group $G$, the representation variety $\mathrm {Hom}(\pi ,G)$ has a natural filtration by the characteristic varieties associated to a rational representation of $G$. Its algebraic counterpart, the space of $\mathfrak {g}$-valued flat connections on a commutative, differential graded algebra $(A,d)$, admits a filtration by the resonance varieties associated to a representation of $\mathfrak {g}$. We establish here a number of results concerning the structure and qualitative properties of these embedded resonance varieties, with particular attention to the case when the rank $1$ resonance variety decomposes as a finite union of linear subspaces. The general theory is illustrated in detail in the case when $\pi$ is either an Artin group or the fundamental group of a smooth, quasi-projective variety.
