Topological mirror symmetry for parabolic Higgs bundles

DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY

Speaker:

Shiyu Shen - University of Toronto

I will present work on establishing the correspondence between the (appropriately defined) Hodge numbers of the moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles for the structure groups SL_n and PGL_n, building on previous results of Groechenig-Wyss-Ziegler on the non-parabolic case. I will first describe the strategy used by Groechenig-Wyss-Ziegler, which combines p-adic integration with the generic duality between the Hitchin systems. Then I will talk about the new ingredients that come into play in the parabolic setting.
