The generic parameterization conjecture for flat parabolic connections

Let Σ\Sigma be a surface, and let A(λ)\mathcal{A}(\lambda) be a family of PSLn(C)\operatorname{PSL}_n(\mathbb{C})-connections satisfying

dA(λ)+A(λ)A(λ)=0,d\mathcal{A}(\lambda)+\mathcal{A}(\lambda)\wedge\mathcal{A}(\lambda)=0,

with A(λ)=λΦ+A+λ1Φ\mathcal{A}(\lambda)=\lambda\Phi+A+\lambda^{-1}\Phi^*, principal-nilpotent (1,0)(1,0)-part Φ1\Phi_1, and reality condition A(1/λˉ)=A(λ)-\mathcal{A}(-1/\bar\lambda)^*=\mathcal{A}(\lambda). Generic parameterization conjecture. There is an open dense subset of such connections which, modulo a choice of unitary gauge and a higher complex structure on Σ\Sigma, is parameterized by holomorphic differentials tkH0(Kk)t_k\in H^0(K^k) for k=2,,nk=2,\ldots,n and some finite data. This would give a higher-complex-structure formulation of the generic part of the relevant flat-connection moduli space; no resolution is stated.
