DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Oscar Garcia-Prada\nhosted by Tamas Hausel\nAbstract: 
 It is well-known that the Teichmüller space of a compact surface  can be
  identified with a connected component of the moduli space of representati
 ons of the fundamental group of the surface in PSL(2\,R). Higher Teichmül
 ler spaces are generalizations of this for certain  non-compact real Lie 
 groups of higher rank. Using the theory of Higgs bundles\, we can exploit 
 the non-abelian Hodge correspondence and the more recently obtained Cayley
  correspondence\, to address the study of the topology of higher Teichmül
 ler spaces. In particular\, we will compute the intersection cohomology of
  certain singular higher Teichmüller spaces.
