dc.description Version nr. 2 of the paper (2005/12/07) contains added due credits to the work of Burger, Iozzi and Wienhard. [Present] Version nr. 3 includes corrected count of connected components for G=SU(p,q) (p \neq q), added due credits to the work of Xia and Markman-Xia and minor corrections and clarifications.
dc.description Higgs bundles and non-abelian Hodge theory provide holomorphic methods with which to study the moduli spaces of surface group representations in a reductive Lie group G. In this paper we survey the case in which G is the isometry group of a classical Hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type. Using Morse theory on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles, we compute the number of connected components of the moduli space of representations with maximal Toledo invariant.
