Compactifications of character varieties and skein relations on conformal blocks

Abstract: Let MC(G) be the moduli space of semistable principal Gbundles over a smooth curve C. We show that a flat degeneration of this space MCGamma(G) associated to a singular stable curve CGamma contains the free group character variety mathcalX(Fg,G) as a dense, open subset, where g=genus(C). In the case G=SL2(mathbbC) we describe the resulting compactification explicitly, and in turn we conclude that the coordinate ring of MCGamma(SL2(mathbbC)) is presented by homogeneous skein relations. Along the way, we prove the parabolic version of these results over stable, marked curves (CGamma,vecpGamma).
