"What does the Alexander polynomial know about flat PSL(2,C)-connections?"
The Alexander polynomial is an invariant of links which appears in various places in low dimensional topology. In this talk I shall focus on a relation between the Alexander polynomial and the moduli space of flat stable PSL(2,C) connections on closed three-manifolds. Surprisingly, it turns out that the Alexander polynomial carries some information about the blow up behavior of the sequences of flat stable PSL(2,C)-connections.
