Abstract

Let be the fundamental group of a compact non-orientable surface of genus and let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. The structure of the representation varieties , of into and and of the character varieties is described; namely, the number of their irreducible components and their dimensions are determined and their birational properties are investigated. It is proved, in particular, that all the irreducible components of are -rational varieties.
