Sun-Yang-Zuo's twisted Higgs-de Rham flow conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let D=0+1+λ+∞D=0+1+\lambda+\infty on P1\mathbb{P}^1, and consider logarithmic graded semistable Higgs bundles on (P1,D)(\mathbb{P}^1,D) whose underlying graded vector bundle is isomorphic to O⊕O(−1)\mathcal{O}\oplus\mathcal{O}(-1). Their moduli space is identified with P1\mathbb{P}^1 by the unique zero of the Higgs field. For a lifting of (P1,D)(\mathbb{P}^1,D) to W2W_2, let ψp:P1→P1\psi_p:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1 be the self-map induced by the twisted Higgs-de Rham flow, and let f:E→P1f:E\to\mathbb{P}^1 be the elliptic-curve double cover branched over DD, with f−1(∞)f^{-1}(\infty) as its identity. Sun-Yang-Zuo's conjecture. For p≠2p\neq 2 and any lifting of (P1,D)(\mathbb{P}^1,D) to W2W_2, the diagram

E→[p]Ef↓↓fP1→ψpP1\begin{CD} E @>{[p]}>> E\\ @V{f}VV @VV{f}V\\ \mathbb{P}^1 @>{\psi_p}>> \mathbb{P}^1 \end{CD}

commutes; equivalently, f∘[p]=ψp∘ff\circ[p]=\psi_p\circ f. This predicts that the twisted Higgs-de Rham dynamics on the moduli space is induced by multiplication by pp on the elliptic double cover. The claim is stated in the source as Conjecture 4.8 of Sun, Yang, and Zuo; the supplied parser gives no resolution status.
