Springer Theory via the Hitchin Fibration
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we translate the Springer theory of Weyl group representations into the language of symplectic topology. Given a semisimple complex group G, we describe a Lagrangian brane in the cotangent bundle of the adjoint quotient g/G that produces the perverse sheaves of Springer theory. The main technical tool is an analysis of the Fourier transform for constructible sheaves from the perspective of the Fukaya category. Our results can be viewed as a toy model of the quantization of Hitchin fibers in the Geometric Langlands program.

The Large-n Limit of Qcd and the Collective Field of the Hitchin Fibration
By means of a certain exact non-abelian duality transformation, we show that there is a natural embedding, dense in the sense of the distributions in the large-N limit, of parabolic Higgs bundles of rank N on a fiber twodimensional torus into the QCD functional integral, fiberwise over the base two-dimensional torus of the trivial elliptic fibration on which the fourdimensional theory is define...

This note is a short review of the way Hitchin systems appear in four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric field theory. The literature on the Hitchin system and its role in quantum field theory is a vast one. Restricting attention just to the role of Hitchin systems in N = 2 supersymmetric field theory (thus neglecting such fascinating topics as T-duality on the Hitchin fibration and its relation ...

We first demonstrate how duality for the fibres of the so-called Hitchin fibration works for the Langlands dual groups Sp(2m) and SO(2m + 1). We then show that duality for G2 is implemented by an involution on the base space which takes one fibre to its dual. A formula for the natural cubic form is given and shown to be invariant under the involution.
