Abstract

The weak geometric P=W conjecture of L. Katzarkov, A. Noll, P. Pandit, and C. Simpson states that, a smooth Betti moduli space of complex dimension dd over a punctured Riemann surface has the dual boundary complex homotopy equivalent to a sphere of dimension d1d-1. Via a microlocal geometric perspective, we verify this conjecture for a class of rank nn wild character varieties over the two-sphere with one puncture, associated with any Stokes Legendrian link defined by an nn-strand positive braid.

Revised version: 34 pages, 10 figures; The revised version has undergone significant changes: A more general result, devoid of connected braid closures, has been proven. The proof is now simpler and more natural, utilizing braid varieties in place of augmentation varieties
