SU(2) Representations of The Groups of Integer Tangles

Authors: TANGÜL UYGUR

Abstract: In this work we classify the irreducible SU(2) representations of \Pi_1(S^3\backslash k_n) where k_n is an integer n tangle and as a result we have proved the following theorem: Let n be an odd integer then \mathcal{R}^{\ast}(\Pi_1(S^3 \backslash k_n)) /SO(3) is the disjoint union of n open arcs where \mathcal{R}^{\ast}(\Pi _1(S^3 \backslash k_n)) is the space of irreducible representations.

Keywords: Representation space,knot group, quaternions
