The hyperkähler twistor conjecture for higher complex structures

Let Σ\Sigma be a smooth surface, let nn be a positive integer, and let Tn\mathcal{T}^n be the moduli space of higher complex structures of order nn on Σ\Sigma. Write TTnT^*\mathcal{T}^n for its cotangent bundle, and let UU be an open subset of Rep(π1Σ,SLn(C))\operatorname{Rep}(\pi_1\Sigma,\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})). Hyperkähler twistor conjecture. The space TTnT^*\mathcal{T}^n has a hyperkähler structure near the zero-section; all but two fibers in the twistor space are diffeomorphic to UU, and the zero-section corresponds to the Hitchin component. This conjectural picture is intended as a non-abelian-Hodge-type description of representation spaces. The source gives no evidence that the claimed structure or identifications have been proved.
