Review text

Given a closed Riemann surface \(X\), say of genus \(g>1\), the set \(\text{Hom}(\pi_{1}(X),PU(p,q))/PU(p,q)\) is the moduli space of flat \(PU(p,q)\)-connections on \(X\). To each (class of) representation \(\sigma \in \text{Hom}(\pi_{1}(X),PU(p,q))/PU(p,q)\) there is the Toledo's invariant \(\tau\). In this paper the author proves for \(q=1\) that \(-2(g-1) \leq \tau \leq 2(g-1)\). Moreover, it is proved that for each such value of \(\tau \in \frac{2}{3}{\mathbb Z}\) there is one connected component of the above moduli space, obtaining in that way that the total number of components is \(6(g-1)+1\).
