    Let \(G\) be a connected Lie group and \(\pi\) its fundamental group. By \(\Hom (\pi,G)\) is denoted the analytic space of all homomorphisms from \(\pi\) to \(G\). It is proved the following Theorem. Let \(G\) be a connected complex semi-simple Lie group. Then \(\pi_ 0 (\Hom (\pi,G))\) is isomorphic to \(\pi_ 1(G)\).
