The Verlinde formula for Higgs bundles
Also appears in collection : Exposés de recherche
In this talk we will present a Verlinde formula for the quantization of the Higgs bundle moduli spaces and stacks for any simple and simply-connected group. We further present a Verlinde formula for the quantization of parabolic Higgs bundle moduli spaces and stacks. We will explain how all these dimensions fit into a one parameter family of 2D TQFT’s, encoded in a one parameter family of Frobenius algebras, which we will construct.
