| Representations of the Fundamental Group of an $L$-Punctured Sphere Generated by Products of Lagrangian Involutions In this paper, we characterize unitary representations of $\pi:=\piS$ whose
generators $u_1, \dots, u_l$ (lying in conjugacy classes fixed initially)
can be decomposed as products of two Lagrangian involutions
$u_j=\s_j\s_{j+1}$ with $\s_{l+1}=\s_1$. Our main result is that such
representations are exactly the elements of the fixed-point set of an
anti-symplectic involution defined on the moduli space
$\Mod:=\Hom_{\mathcal C}(\pi,U(n))/U(n)$. Consequently, as this fixed-point set is
non-empty, it is a Lagrangian submanifold of $\Mod$. To prove this, we use
the quasi-Hamiltonian description of the symplectic structure of $\Mod$ and
give conditions on an involution defined on a quasi-Hamiltonian $U$-space
$(M, \w, \mu\from M \to U)$ for it to induce an anti-symplectic involution on
the reduced space $M/\!/U := \mu^{-1}(\{1\})/U$.
