Cayley correspondence conjecture for higher Teichmüller components
Cayley correspondence conjecture for higher Teichmüller components
Let be a compact Riemann surface, let be its underlying surface, and let be a simple Lie group. Write for the moduli space of -Higgs bundles and for the character variety. Under the nonabelian Hodge correspondence between these spaces, the Cayley components in correspond to the higher Teichmüller components in . Cayley correspondence conjecture. Moreover, the list of Cayley components completes the classification of connected components in for every simple Lie group . This would identify all components arising from the Cayley correspondence with the higher Teichmüller components and settle whether the components found in the paper exhaust the components of -positive representations. The source presents this as an open conjecture.
