4d mirror symmetry for class-S theories

I will explain a (conjectural) correspondence between the representation theory of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) associated to a genus g Riemann surface with n-punctures and the geometry of Hitchin moduli space / character variety of the same Riemann surface. They are coming from Higgs / Coulomb branches 0f 4d class-S theories respectively. We propose that there exists a bijection between modular invariant modules of the VOA and fixed manifolds of Hitchin moduli spaces. The modularity is also related to dimensions of fixed manifolds. Moreover, all these data can be read from the mixed Hodge polynomials of the character variety. I will explain this correspondence in detail and provide examples.

AbstractIt is well-known since the work of Hopf, Drinfel’d, Majid, Witten, and etc. in the late 20th century that Hopf algebra quantum groups play a signification role in both physics and mathematics. In particular, the category of representations of quantum groups are braided, and hence captures invariants of knots. This talk is based on works with F. Girelli, where we develop a systematic ca...
