Canonical isomorphism between geometric Hitchin space and Hitchin's component
Canonical isomorphism between geometric Hitchin space and Hitchin's component
Let be a closed surface of genus , and let denote geometric Hitchin space and Hitchin's component. Canonical isomorphism conjecture. Geometric Hitchin space
is canonically isomorphic to Hitchin's component
Both spaces are contractible real manifolds of the same dimension, but the proposed canonical isomorphism would relate the geometric structures and properties available on the two sides, including the complex structure and forgetful maps of geometric Hitchin space with the symplectic structure of Hitchin's component. No such isomorphism is established in the supplied context.
