Title
Representation varieties of Fuchsian groups
We estimate the dimension of the representation variety of Fuchsian groups in indefinite special orthogonal group that is of nonsplit type. In the case where the Fuchsian group is a surface group, we give an exact formula (rather that just estimate) for the dimension of the representation variety whose representation `space' is any real algebraic group.
