Dans cet article, nous construisons des compactifications de SL 2 (ℂ)-variétés de caractères d’une droite projective moins n points et étudions les diviseurs au bord des compactifications. Cette étude est motivée par une conjecture, due à C. Simpson, sur les configurations des diviseurs au bord. Nous vérifions quelques cas de la conjecture.

In this paper, we construct compactifications of SL 2 (ℂ)-character varieties of n-punctured projective line and study the boundary divisors of the compactifications. This study is motivated by a conjecture for the configurations of the boundary divisors, due to C. Simpson. We verify the conjecture for a few examples.
