On the Geometric Langlands Conjecture and Non-Abelian Hodge Theory Donagi, Ron

Description

The Geometric Langlands Conjecture (GLC) for a curve \(C\) and a group \(G\) is a non-abelian generalization of the relation between a curve and its Jacobian. It claims the existence of Hecke eigensheaves on the moduli of \(G\)-bundles on \(C\). The parabolic GLC is a further extension to curves with punctures. After explaining and illustrating the conjectures, I will outline an approach to proving them using non-abelian Hodge theory. A key geometric ingredient is the locus of wobbly bundles: bundles that are stable but not very stable. If time allows, I will discuss two instances where this program has been implemented recently: GLC for \(G=GL(2)\) and genus 2 curves (with T. Pantev and C. Simson), and parabolic GLC for \(\mathbb{P}^1\) with marked points (with T. Pantev).
