Abstract: We show that the Hitchin integrable system for a simple complex Lie group G is dual to the Hitchin system for the Langlands dual group lanG. In particular, the general fiber of the connected component Higgs0 of the Hitchin system for G is an abelian variety which is dual to the corresponding fiber of the connected component of the Hitchin system for lanG. The non-neutral connected components Higgsalpha form torsors over Higgs0. We show that their duals are gerbes over Higgs0 which are induced by the gerbe of G-Higgs bundles gHiggs. More generally, we establish a duality between the gerbe gHiggs of G-Higgs bundles and the gerbe langHiggs of lanG-Higgs bundles, which incorporates all the previous dualities. All these results extend immediately to an arbirtary connected complex reductive group mathbbG.
