Spaces of homomorphisms and group cohomology

In this work we study the space of group homomorphisms Hom(Γ,G) from a geometric and simplicial point of view. The case in which the source group is a free abelian group of rank n is studied in more detail since this space can be identified with the space of commuting n-tuples of elements from G....
