This chapter finds an agreement of equivariant indices of semi-classical homomorphisms between pairwise mirror branes in the GL2 Higgs moduli space on a Riemann surface. On one side of the agreement, components of the Lagrangian brane of U(1,1) Higgs bundles, whose mirror was proposed by Hitchin to be certain even exterior powers of the hyperholomorphic Dirac bundle on the SL2 Higgs moduli space, are present. The agreement arises from a mysterious functional equation. This gives strong computational evidence for Hitchin’s proposal.

Let [Formula: see text] be a moduli space of stable parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two over a Riemann surface X. It is a smooth variety defined over [Formula: see text] equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Fix a projective structure [Formula: see text] on X. Using [Formula: see text], we construct a quantization of a certain Zariski open dense subset of the symplectic variety [Formula: see text].

Considering a compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal than two, a Higgs bundle is a pair composed of a holomorphic bundle over the Riemann surface, joint with an auxiliar vector field, so-called Higgs field. This theory started around thirty years ago, with Hitchin’s work, when he reduced the self-duality equations from dimension four to dimension two, and so, studied those equations over Riemann surfaces. Hitchin baptized those fields as Higgs fields because in the context of physics and gauge theory, they describe similar particles to those described by the Higgs bosson. Later, Simpson used the name Higgs bundle for a holomorphic bundle together with a Higgs field. Today, Higgs bundles are the subject of research in several areas such as non-abelian Hodge theory, Langlands, mirror symmetry, integrable systems, quantum field theory (QFT), among others. The main purposes here are to introduce these objects, and to present a brief but complete construction of the moduli space of Higgs bundles.

In this paper, we study triples of the form (E, θ, ϕ) over a compact Riemann surface, where (E, θ) is a Higgs bundle and ϕ is a global holomorphic section of the Higgs bundle. Our main result is an description of a birational equivalence which relates geometrically the moduli space of Higgs bundles of rank r and degree d to the moduli space of Higgs bundles of rank r-1 and degree d.

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.

Abstract We construct natural operators connecting the cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable Higgs bundles with different ranks and genera which, after numerical specialisation, recover the topological mirror symmetry conjecture of Hausel and Thaddeus concerning $\mathrm {SL}_n$ - and $\mathrm {PGL}_n$ -Higgs bundles. This provides a complete description of the cohomology of the moduli space of stable $\mathrm {SL}_n$ -Higgs bundles in terms of the tautological classes, and gives a new proof of the Hausel–Thaddeus conjecture, which was also proven recently by Gröchenig, Wyss and Ziegler via p-adic integration. Our method is to relate the decomposition theorem for the Hitchin fibration, using vanishing cycle functors, to the decomposition theorem for the twisted Hitchin fibration, whose supports are simpler.

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.
