P=W conjecture for twisted character varieties

About 5 years old · traced to

Let CC be a smooth projective curve, let GG be one of GL⁡n\operatorname{GL}_n, SL⁡n\operatorname{SL}_n, or PGL⁡n\operatorname{PGL}_n, and let dd satisfy gcd(n,d)=1\mathrm{gcd}(n,d)=1. Define the twisted character variety MBtw(C,G,d)M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{B}}(C,G,d) and the corresponding Dolbeault moduli space MDoltw(C,G,d)M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{Dol}}(C,G,d), with non-abelian Hodge diffeomorphism Ψ ⁣:MDoltw(C,G,d)→MBtw(C,G,d)\Psi\colon M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{Dol}}(C,G,d)\to M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{B}}(C,G,d). Let PkP_k denote the perverse Leray filtration associated with the Hitchin fibration on the Dolbeault side, and let W2kW_{2k} denote the weight filtration on the Betti-side cohomology.

P=W conjecture for twisted character varieties. For every kk,

PkH∗(MDoltw(C,G,d))=Ψ∗W2kH∗(MBtw(C,G,d)).P_k H^*(M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{Dol}}(C,G,d))=\Psi^*W_{2k}H^*(M^{\mathrm{tw}}_{\mathrm{B}}(C,G,d)).

The conjecture predicts that non-abelian Hodge theory identifies filtrations of different geometric origins. It was verified in rank 22, while the general twisted case remains open.
