Labourie's vector-bundle conjecture for Hitchin components
Labourie's vector-bundle conjecture for Hitchin components
Let be a closed surface of genus , let be its moduli space of Riemann surfaces, and let be the Hitchin component. For a chosen conformal structure, Hitchin's parametrization identifies it with holomorphic differentials, and the mapping class group acts on the component.
Labourie's conjecture. The quotient of by the mapping class group is a holomorphic vector bundle over , with fiber equal to
The conjecture refines the relation between Hitchin components and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. The source attributes it to Labourie and does not state a resolution.
