Fock bundles and the Hitchin component

19.03.2024 15:00 – 17:00

The study of representations of a fundamental group of a surface into a Lie group is described by the character variety. I will present a new approach, via so-called Fock bundles, to study character varieties. Despite similarities with nonabelian Hodge theory, the crucial difference is that no complex structure is fixed on the surface. Fock bundles are closely related to higher complex structures and Hitchin components. Joint work with Georgios Kydonakis and Charlie Reid.
