On the image of the parabolic Hitchin map

Abstract

We determine the image of the (strongly) parabolic Hitchin map for all parabolics in classical groups and G2G_2. Surprisingly, we find that the image is isomorphic to an affine space in all cases, except for certain "bad parabolics" in type DD, where the image can be singular.

Comments

In this paper we compute the base of the strongly parabolic Hitchin map. In the companion paper arXiv:1608.05454 we prove that this gives a completely integrable system
