Abstract: We place the representation variety in the broader context of abelian and nonabelian cohomology. We outline the equivalent constructions of the moduli spaces of flat bundles, of smooth integrable connections, and of holomorphic integrable connections over a compact Kaehler manifold. In addition, we describe the moduli space of Higgs bundles and how it relates to the representation variety. We attempt to avoid abstraction, but strive to present and clarify the unifying ideas underlying the theory.
