This space $X$ is closely related to the PSL$_2(\\mathbb{R})$-character variety of the genus 2 surface $\\Sigma$. In this article we study the topology and the natural symplectic structure on $X$, and we describe the action of the mapping class group of $\\Sigma$ on $X$. This completes the classification of the ergodic components of the character variety in genus 2 initiated in our previous work.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-08T09:16:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M05", "20H10", "30F60", "53D30" ], "keywords": [ "mapping class group", "hyperbolic plane", "six-point configurations", "character variety", "ergodicity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150902290M" } } }
