Abstract: Representations of two bridge knot groups in the isometry group of some complete Riemannian 3-manifolds as $E^3$ (Euclidean 3-space), $H^3$ (hyperbolic 3-space) and $E^{2,1}$ (Minkowski 3-space), using quaternion algebra theory, are studied. We study the different representations of a 2-generator group in which the generators are send to conjugate elements, by analyzing the points of an algebraic variety, that we call the emph{variety of affine c-representations of}$G$. Each point in this variety correspond to a representation in the unit group of a quaternion algebra and their affine deformations.
