Electric-magnetic duality and the geometric Langlands program

A Kapustin, E Witten - arXiv preprint hep-th/0604151, 2006 - arxiv.org
The geometric Langlands program can be described in a natural way by compactifying on a
Riemann surface C a twisted version of N= 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions …

The conjecture for

D Maulik, J Shen - Annals of Mathematics, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
We prove the P=W conjecture for GL_n for all ranks n and curves of arbitrary genus g≥2.
The proof combines a strong perversity result on tautological classes with the curious Hard …

The omega deformation, branes, integrability and Liouville theory

N Nekrasov, E Witten - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We reformulate the Ω-deformation of four-dimensional gauge theory in a way that is valid
away from fixed points of the associated group action. We use this reformulation together …

Mixed Hodge polynomials of character varieties: With an appendix by Nicholas M. Katz

T Hausel, F Rodriguez-Villegas - Inventiones mathematicae, 2008 - Springer
We calculate the E-polynomials of certain twisted GL (n, ℂ)-character varieties M_n of
Riemann surfaces by counting points over finite fields using the character table of the finite …

Lectures on the Langlands program and conformal field theory

E Frenkel - Frontiers in Number Theory, Physics, and Geometry II …, 2007 - Springer
These lecture notes give an overview of recent results in geometric Langlands
correspondence which may yield applications to quantum field theory. It has long been …

Langlands duality for Hitchin systems

R Donagi, T Pantev - arXiv preprint math/0604617, 2006 - arxiv.org
We show that the Hitchin integrable system for a simple complex Lie group $ G $ is dual to
the Hitchin system for the Langlands dual group $\lan {G} $. In particular, the general fiber of …

Topology of Hitchin systems and Hodge theory of character varieties: the case A 1

MAA de Cataldo, T Hausel, L Migliorini - Annals of Mathematics, 2012 - JSTOR
For G= GL 2, PGL 2, SL 2 we prove that the perverse filtration associated with the Hitchin
map on the rational cohomology of the moduli space of twisted G-Higgs bundles on a …

Wall-crossing in coupled 2d-4d systems

D Gaiotto, GW Moore, A Neitzke - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We introduce a new wall-crossing formula which combines and generalizes the
Cecotti-Vafa and Kontsevich-Soibelman formulas for supersymmetric 2d and 4d systems …

Quantization of the Hitchin moduli spaces, Liouville theory and the geometric Langlands correspondence I

J Teschner - 2011 - projecteuclid.org
We discuss the relation between Liouville theory and the Hitchin integrable system, which
can be seen in two ways as a two step process involving quantization and hyperkähler …

On the motives of moduli of chains and Higgs bundles

O García-Prada, J Heinloth, AHW Schmitt - Journal of the European …, 2014 - ems.press
We take another approach to Hitchin's strategy of computing the cohomology of moduli
spaces of Higgs bundles by localization with respect to the circle action. Our computation is …
