Mirror of Orbifold Singularities in the Hitchin Fibration: the case (\text{SL}_n,\text{PGL}_n)

Publication date: 10 October 2022

Abstract: We study the geometry of singular

e x t {S L}_{n}

-Hitchin fibres over the elliptic locus. We show that orbifold singularities appear in the

e x t {P G L}_{n}

-moduli space

M^{e l l} (e x t {P G L}_{n})

exactly when the

e x t {S L}_{n}

side

M^{e l l} (e x t {S L}_{n})

has a reducible Hitchin fibre. Our main theorem shows that the Fourier-Mukai transform of a skyscraper sheaf supported at an orbifold singularity in

M^{e l l} (e x t {P G L}_{n})

satisfies a version of the fractional Hecke eigenproperty, as conjectured by Frenkel and Witten.
