Abstract
We investigate the -representation varieties of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) for various Lie groups . We show these varieties are connected for a large class of such , including and , while they are generally not connected for other large classes, such as and for . When we determine the number of connected components of the representation variety associated to any RAAG that is also a 3-manifold group.
