Abstract

We prove in two different ways that the monodromy map from the space of irreducible sl2 differential systems on genus two Riemann surfaces, towards the character variety of SL2 representations of the fundamental group, is a local diffeomorphism. We also show that this is no longer true in the higher genus case. Our work is motivated by a question raised by Étienne Ghys about Margulis' problem: The existence of curves of negative Euler characteristic in compact quotients of SL2(C).
