dc.descriptionLet $G$ be a compact connected semisimple Lie group. We extend the techniques of Weinstein [W] to give a construction in group cohomology of symplectic forms $ω$ on \lq twisted' moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group $π$ of a 2-manifold $Σ$ (the smooth analogues of ${\rm Hom} (π_1(Σ), G)/G$) and on relative character varieties of fundamental groups of 2-manifolds. We extend this construction to exhibit a symplectic form on the extended moduli space [J1] (a Hamiltonian $G$-space from which these moduli spaces may be obtained by symplectic reduction), and compute the moment map for the action of $G$ on the extended moduli space.

The present version (April 1996) is essentially the version that will appear in print. Several sign errors have been corrected. Some errors have been corrected in the proof of nondegeneracy of the symplectic form (Section 5) on an open dense set in the extended moduli space
