The twistor geometry of parabolic structures in rank two

Abstract

Let XX be a quasi-projective curve, compactified to (Y,D)(Y,D) with X=YDX=Y-D. We construct a Deligne-Hitchin twistor space out of moduli spaces of framed λ\lambda-connections of rank 22 over YY with logarithmic singularities and quasi-parabolic structure along DD. To do this, one should divide by a Hecke-gauge groupoid. Tame harmonic bundles on XX give preferred sections, and the relative tangent bundle along a preferred section has a mixed twistor structure with weights 0,1,20,1,2. The weight 22 piece corresponds to the deformations of the KMS structure including parabolic weights and the residues of the λ\lambda-connection.
