We derive a simple closed formula for the SL2(ℂ) Casson invariant for Seifert fibered homology 3-spheres using the correspondence between SL2(ℂ) character varieties and moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two. These results are then used to deduce the invariant for Dehn surgeries on twist knots by combining computations of the Culler-Shalen norms with the surgery formula for the SL2(ℂ) Casson invariant.

Mixed Hodge Structures

In this paper, we investigate the mixed Hodge structures of the moduli space of $\boldsymbol{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles and the moduli space of $\boldsymbol{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$-stable regular singular parabolic connections. We show that the mixed Hodge polynomials are independent of the choice of generic eigenvalues and the mixed Hodge structures of these moduli spaces are pure. Moreover, by the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence, the Poincaré polynomials of character varieties are independent of the choice of generic eigenvalues.

Abstract For $G = \mathrm {GL}_2, \mathrm {SL}_2, \mathrm {PGL}_2$ we compute the intersection E-polynomials and the intersection Poincaré polynomials of the G-character variety of a compact Riemann surface C and of the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles on C of degree zero. We derive several results concerning the P=W conjectures for these singular moduli spaces.

AbstractWe study the motive of the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve C over a field k under the assumption that C has a rational point. We show this motive is contained in the thick tensor subcategory of Voevodsky’s triangulated category of motives with rational coefficients generated by the motive of C. Moreover, over a field of characteristic zero, we prove a motivic non-abelian Hodge correspondence: the integral motives of the Higgs and de Rham moduli spaces are isomorphic.

AbstractThe moduli spaces of flat $${\text{SL}}_2$$ SL 2 - and $${\text{PGL}}_2$$ PGL 2 -connections are known to be singular SYZ-mirror partners. We establish the equality of Hodge numbers of their intersection (stringy) cohomology. In rank two, this answers a question raised by Tamás Hausel in Remark 3.30 of “Global topology of the Hitchin system”.

Abstract We study a set $\mathcal{M}_{K,N}$ parameterising filtered SL(K)-Higgs bundles over $\mathbb{C}P^1$ with an irregular singularity at $z = \infty$ , such that the eigenvalues of the Higgs field grow like $\vert \lambda \vert \sim \vert z^{N/K} \mathrm{d}z \vert$ , where K and N are coprime. $\mathcal{M}_{K,N}$ carries a $\mathbb{C}^\times$ -action analogous to the famous $\mathbb{C}^\times$ -action introduced by Hitchin on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles over compact curves. The construction of this $\mathbb{C}^\times$ -action on $\mathcal{M}_{K,N}$ involves the rotation automorphism of the base $\mathbb{C}P^1$ . We classify the fixed points of this $\mathbb{C}^\times$ -action, and exhibit a curious 1-1 correspondence between these fixed points and certain representations of the vertex algebra $\mathcal{W}_K$ ; in particular we have the relation $\mu = {k-1-c_{\mathrm{eff}}}/{12}$ , where $\mu$ is a regulated version of the L 2 norm of the Higgs field, and $c_{\mathrm{eff}}$ is the effective Virasoro central charge of the corresponding W-algebra representation. We also discuss a Białynicki–Birula-type decomposition of $\mathcal{M}_{K,N}$ , where the strata are labeled by isomorphism classes of the underlying filtered vector bundles.
