Character Variety
In the mathematics of moduli theory, given an algebraic, reductive, Lie group and a finitely generated group, the -character variety of is a space of equivalence classes of group homomorphisms
More precisely, acts on by conjugation and two homomorphisms are defined to be equivalent if and only if their orbit closures intersect. This is the weakest equivalence relation on the set of conjugation orbits that yields a Hausdorff space.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or variety:
“... the condition of women affords, in all countries, the best criterion by which to judge the character of men.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
