Irreducible connection on a surface
Let $\Sigma$ is a compact oriented surface (without boundary), of genus $\ge 1$. Let $\rho: \pi=\pi_1(\Sigma)\to G$ be a representation to a semisimple Lie group $G$. (Actually, all what one needs is ...

Fiber bundle map is proper if the model fiber is compact
Instead of using definition of proper map, we can use Proposition A.53(b) in Lee's smooth manifolds book to show that $\pi$ is a closed map.
(Proposition A.53(b) says that a closed map with compact ...
