We compute the motive of the variety of representations of the torus knot of type (m,n) into the affine groups $AGL_1$ and $AGL_2$ for an arbitrary field $k$. In the case that $k = F_q$ is a finite field this gives rise to the count of the number of points of the representation variety, while for $k = C$ this calculation returns the E-polynomial of the representation variety. We discuss the interplay between these two results in sight of Katz theorem that relates the point count polynomial with the E-polynomial. In particular, we shall show that several point count polynomials exist for these representation varieties, depending on the arithmetic between m,n and the characteristic of the field, whereas only one of them agrees with the actual E-polynomial.

We compute the motive of the variety of representations of the torus knot of type (m,n) into the affine groups $AGL_1(C)$ and $AGL_2(C)$. For this, we stratify the varieties and show that the motives lie in the subring generated by the Lefschetz motive q=[C].
We show that no torus knot of type $(2,n)$, $n>3$ odd, can be obtained from a polynomial embedding $t mapsto (f(t), g(t), h(t))$ where $(deg(f),deg(g))leq (3,n+1) $. Eventually, we give explicit examples with minimal lexicographic degree.
In this paper, we compute the motive of the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of the complement of an arbitrary torus knot into $SL_4(k)$, for any algebraically closed field $k$. For that purpose, we introduce a stratification of the variety in terms of the type of a canonical filtration attached to any representation. This allows us to reduce the computation of the motive to a combinatorial problem.
Let $G=SL(n, mathbb{C}),$ and $T$ be a maximal torus of $G,$ where $n$ is a positive even integer. In this article, we study the GIT quotients of the Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian $G_{2,n}.$ We prove that the GIT quotients of the Richardson varieties in the minimal dimensional Schubert variety admitting stable points in $G_{2,n}$ are projective spaces. Further, we prove that the GIT quotients of certain Richardson varieties in $G_{2,n}$ are projective toric varieties. Also, we prove that the GIT quotients of the Schubert varieties in $G_{2,n}$ have at most finite set of singular points. Further, we have computed the exact number of singular points of the GIT quotient of $G_{2,n}.$
We extend the Altmann-Hausen presentation of normal affine algebraic C-varieties endowed with effective torus actions to the real setting. In particular, we focus on actions of quasi-split real tori, in which case we obtain a simpler presentation.
