Given a hyperbolic knot K and any n ≥ 2 the abelian representations and the holonomy representation each give rise to an (n−1)–dimensional component in the SL(n, ℂ)–character variety. A component of the SL(n, ℂ)–character variety of dimension ≥ n is called high-dimensional.

It was proved by D Cooper and D Long that there exist hyperbolic knots with high-dimensional components in the SL(2, ℂ)–character variety. We show that given any nontrivial knot K and sufficiently large n the SL(n, ℂ)–character variety of K admits high-dimensional components.
