The microlocal–Whittaker equivalence for semistable Higgs bundles

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let CC be a smooth projective curve, let GG be a reductive group with Langlands dual group G∨G^{\vee}, and let ww denote the relevant stratum or weight. Write WC ⁣Conn G, N(−w)\mathsf{W}_{{\mathcal{C}\mkern-3mu\mathit{Conn}\mkern1mu}_G, \, \mathcal{N}}(-w) for the corresponding Whittaker category, and let Dmicro(H ⁣iggs G∨(w)ss)cp\mathsf{D}^{\mathrm{micro}}({\mathcal{H}\mkern-4mu\mathit{iggs}\mkern1mu}_{G^{\vee}}(w)^{\mathrm{ss}})^{\mathrm{cp}} be the compact objects in the microlocal category of the semistable ww-stratum of the Higgs moduli stack. Microlocal–Whittaker equivalence. There is an equivalence

WC ⁣Conn G, N(−w)≃Dmicro(H ⁣iggs G∨(w)ss)cp.\mathsf{W}_{{\mathcal{C}\mkern-3mu\mathit{Conn}\mkern1mu}_G, \, \mathcal{N}}(-w) \simeq \mathsf{D}^{\mathrm{micro}}({\mathcal{H}\mkern-4mu\mathit{iggs}\mkern1mu}_{G^{\vee}}(w)^{\mathrm{ss}})^{\mathrm{cp}}.

This is expected to identify the semiorthogonal decomposition on the Whittaker side with the compact microlocal semiorthogonal decomposition for the Higgs moduli stack; the statement is presented as a conjectural compatibility under the cited equivalence, and its general status is not established in the supplied text.
