%0 Journal Article %A Martinez, Javier %A Muñoz, Vicente %T E-polynomials of the SL(2, C)-character varieties of surface groups %D 2016 %@ 1073-7928 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/24547 %X We compute the E-polynomials of the moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a once-punctured surface of any genus into SL(2, C), for any possible holonomy around the puncture. We follow the geometric technique introduced in [12], based on stratifying the space of representations, and on the analysis of the behavior of the E-polynomial under fibrations. %~
