Abstract: We define and parametrise so-called mathfraksl(2)-type fibres of the mathsfSp(2n,mathbbC)- and mathsfSO(2n+1,mathbbC)-Hitchin system. These are (singular) Hitchin fibres, where the spectral curve induces a two-sheeted covering of a second Riemann surface Y. This identifies the mathfraksl(2)-type Hitchin fibres with fibres of an mathsfSL(2,mathbbC)- respectively mathsfPSL(2,mathbbC)-Hitchin map on Y. We give a stratification of these singular spaces by semi-abelian spectral data, study their irreducible components and obtain a global description of the first degenerations. Comparing the semi-abelian spectral data of mathfraksl(2)-type Hitchin fibres for the two Langlands dual groups, we extend the well-known Langlands duality of regular Hitchin fibres to mathfraksl(2)-type Hitchin fibres. Finally, we construct solutions to the decoupled Hitchin equation for Higgs bundles of mathfraksl(2)-type. We conjecture these to be limiting metrics along rays to the ends of the moduli space.
