Abstract: We study the topology of the moduli space of flat SU(2)-bundles over a nonorientable surface X. This moduli space may be identified with the space of homomorphisms Hom(pi_1(X),SU(2)) modulo conjugation by SU(2). In particular, we compute the (rational) equivariant cohomology ring of Hom(pi_1(X),SU(2)) and use this to compute the ordinary cohomology groups of the quotient Hom(pi_1(X),SU(2))/SU(2). A key property is that the conjugation action is equivariantly formal.
