How do you find the genus of a Fuchsian group derived from a quaternion algebra?
Let $G$ be a Fuchsian group with normalizer $N(G)$ inside $PSL(2,13)$
Due to the Hurwitz formula, it suffices to find a presentation of $G$ of the form:
$$\langle x_1,\ldots,x_r,a …

How nice are representation varieties of Fuchsian groups?
Background
Let $S_{g,n}$ be an oriented surface of genus $g$, with $n$ punctures. We explicitly prohibit the non-hyperbolic cases:
$g=0$, $n=0,1,2$.
$g=1$, $n=0$.
Let $\Gamma …
