Davesh Maulik: Cohomology of the moduli of Higgs bundles and the Hausel-Thaddeus conjecture
2020-10-29 14:00 - 15:30 | https://mathseminars.org/seminar/AGNTISTA, ISTA
Speaker: Davesh Maulik
hosted by Tamas Hausel
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some results on the structure of the cohomology of the moduli space of stable SL_n Higgs bundles on a curve. One consequence is a new proof of he Hausel-Thaddeus conjecture proven previously by Groechenig-Wyss-Ziegler via p-adic integration. We will also discuss connections to the P=W conjecture if time permits. Based on joint work with Junliang Shen.
