Genericity conjecture for the favorable spectral-data locus

About 7 years old · traced to

Let XX be an algebraic surface, and let BX◊(k)\mathscr B_X^{\Diamond}(k) be the distinguished subset of the postulated Hitchin base BX(k)\mathscr B_X(k) defined in the surrounding discussion. Genericity conjecture. The subset BX◊(k)\mathscr B_X^{\Diamond}(k) is a non-empty open subset of BX(k)\mathscr B_X(k). The source says this is expected for most algebraic surfaces and relates its non-emptiness to poorly understood questions about zero loci of symmetric differentials.
