We define a deformation space of Lafforgue’s G-valued pseudocharacters of a profinite group \(\Gamma \) for a possibly disconnected reductive group G. We show that this definition generalizes Chenevier’s construction. We show that the universal pseudodeformation ring is noetherian and that the functor of continuous G-pseudocharacters on affinoid \({\mathbb {Q}}_p\) -algebras is represented by a quasi-Stein rigid analytic space, whenever \(\Gamma \) is topologically finitely generated. We also show that the pseudodeformation ring is noetherian when \(\Gamma \) satisfies Mazur’s condition \(\Phi _p\) and G satisfies a certain invariant-theoretic condition. For \(G = \operatorname {Sp}_{2n}\) , we describe three types of obstructed loci in the special fiber of the universal pseudodeformation space of an arbitrary residual pseudocharacter and give upper bounds for their dimension.
