Universal-building category conjecture for semisimple Hitchin systems

About 13 years old · traced to

Let GG be a semisimple complex Lie group, let XX be a Riemann surface, and let

ϕ∈⨁i=1rH0(X,ωX⊗di)\phi\in\bigoplus_{i=1}^{r}H^0(X,\omega_X^{\otimes d_i})

be a point in the corresponding Hitchin base. Let hϕh^{\phi} be the harmonic map to the universal building associated to ϕ\phi. Universal-building category conjecture. The singularities of hϕh^{\phi} determine a 33-dimensional Calabi--Yau category C\mathcal C. The paper presents this as an expected extension from the SL⁡3(C)\operatorname{SL}_3(\mathbb C) case to arbitrary semisimple Lie groups. It gives initial evidence but no general construction or proof.
