Abstract Let e denote the Euler class on the space ${ ext{
m Hom}(Gamma_g,{PSL(2,{mathbb R})}}$ of representations of the fundamental group Γg of the closed surface Σg of genus g. Goldman showed that the connected components of ${ ext{
m Hom}(Gamma_g,{PSL(2,{mathbb R})}}$ are precisely the inverse images e −1(k), for 2−2g≤ k≤ 2g−2, and that the components of Euler class 2−2g and 2g−2 consist of the injective representations whose image is a discrete subgroup of ${PSL(2,{mathbb R})}$ . We prove that non-faithful representations are dense in all the other components. We show that the image of a discrete representation essentially determines its Euler class. Moreover, we show that for every genus and possible corresponding Euler class, there exist discrete representations.
