| Jan 29, 2011 at 6:54 | comment | added | Dan Ramras | I seem to recall that some interesting representations were written down in papers of Narasimhan and Seshadri. My recollection is that they gave some explicit irreducible representations of arbitrary degree. I don't know if they were integral representations though; I suspect not. | |

| Jan 29, 2011 at 3:44 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | What does "degree 2" means in this context? Does it mean $2\times2$ matrices? | |
| Jan 29, 2011 at 3:42 | comment | added | John Wiltshire-Gordon | Are you looking for faithful representations? If not, the group presentation of the fundamental group gives you easy relations to find among matrices. | |
