Abstract: In this paper, we use a geometric technique developed by Gonz'alez-Prieto, Logares, Mu~noz, and Newstead to study the $G$-representation variety of surface groups $mathfrak{X}_G(Sigm{a}_g)$ of arbitrary genus for $G$ being the group of upper triangular matrices of fixed rank. Explicitly, we compute the virtual classes in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of the $G$-representation variety and the moduli space of $G$-representations of surface groups for $G$ being the group of complex upper triangular matrices of rank $2$, $3$, and $4$ via constructing a topological quantum field theory. Furthermore, we show that in the case of upper triangular matrices the character map from the moduli space of $G$-representations to the $G$-character variety is not an isomorphism.
