The P=W compatibility conjecture for nonabelian Hodge theory

From papers

Let CC be a smooth projective curve with underlying Riemann surface Σg\Sigma_g. Let HBetti\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Betti}} and HDol\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Dol}} be the graded BPS cohomological spaces of Betti representations and degree-zero Dolbeault Higgs bundles, respectively, and let Λ:HBettiHDol\Lambda:\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Betti}}\cong\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Dol}} be the graded vector-space isomorphism induced by nonabelian Hodge theory. P=W compatibility conjecture. The map Λ\Lambda takes the weight filtration on HBetti\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Betti}} to a doubled perverse filtration on HDol\mathcal{H}^{\operatorname{Dol}}. The conjecture refines the nonabelian Hodge correspondence by asserting compatibility between the weight filtration on the Betti side and the perverse filtration arising from the Hitchin system; the ordinary P=W conjecture mentioned in the source is already a theorem.
