dc.descriptionLet K be a knot in $S^3$ and $X$ its complement. We study deformations of reducible metabelian representations of the knot group $π_1(X)$ into $SL(3,\mathbb{C})$ which are associated to a double root of the Alexander polynomial. We prove that these reducible metabelian representations are smooth points of the representation variety and that they have irreducible non metabelian deformations.
