Let $k$ be a finite field and let $G$ be a reductive group over $k[[\pi]]$. Suppose $\mathrm{char}(k)$ is larger than twice the Coxeter number of $G$, we prove the standard endoscopic fundamental lemma for the spherical Hecke algebra of $G$…

We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…

The main tool in Ng\^o Bao Ch\^au's proof of the Langlands-Shelstad fundamental lemma, is a theorem on the support of the relative cohomology of the elliptic part of the Hitchin fibration. For GL(n) and a divisor of degree >2g-2, the…

We establish an entropy rigidity theorem for Hitchin representations of all geometrically finite Fuchsian groups which generalizes a theorem of Potrie and Sambarino for Hitchin representations of closed surface groups. In the process, we…

We give an algebraic approach to the study of Hitchin pairs and prove the tensor product theorem for Higgs semistable Hitchin pairs over smooth projective curves defined over algebraically closed fields $k$ of characteristic $0$ and…

For a split reductive group defined over a number field, we first introduce the notations of arithmetic torsors and arithmetic Higgs torsors. Then we construct arithmetic characteristic curves associated to arithmetic Higgs torsors, based…

The Chen-Ng\^o Conjecture predicts that the Hitchin morphism from the moduli stack of $G$-Higgs bundles on a smooth projective variety surjects onto the space of spectral data. The conjecture is known to hold for the group $GL_n$ and any…

This work is the geometric part of our proof of the weighted fundamental lemma, which is an extension of Ng\^o Bao Ch\^au's proof of the Langlands-Shelstad fundamental lemma. Ng\^o's approach is based on a study of the elliptic part of the…

We study the geometry of the Hitchin fibration for $\mathcal{L}$-valued $G$-Higgs bundles over a smooth projective curve of genus $g$, where $G$ is a reductive group and $\mathcal{L}$ is a suitably positive line bundle. We show that the…

Suppose a residually finite group $G$ acts cocompactly on a contractible complex with strict fundamental domain $Q$, where the stabilizers are either trivial or have normal $\mathbb{Z}$-subgroups. Let $\partial Q$ be the subcomplex of $Q$…

In this paper, we study the cohomology of the truncated Hitchin fibration, which was introduced in a previous paper. We extend Ng\^o's main theorems on the cohomology of the elliptic part of the Hitchin fibration. As a consequence, we get a…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…

We propose a geometric interpretation of the theory of elliptic endoscopy, due to Langlands and Kottwitz, in terms of the Hitchin fibration. As applications, we prove a global analog of a purity conjecture, due to Goresky, Kottwitz and…

We prove three new results about the global Springer action defined in \cite{GSI}. The first one determines the support of the perverse cohomology sheaves of the parabolic Hitchin complex, which serves as a technical tool for the next…

We study the topology of Hitchin fibrations via abelian surfaces. We establish the P=W conjecture for genus $2$ curves and arbitrary rank. In higher genus and arbitrary rank, we prove that P=W holds for the subalgebra of cohomology…

Fix a non-stacky component of the moduli of stable Higgs bundles, on which the Hitchin fibration is proper. We show that any smooth Hitchin fiber determines a microsheaf on the global nilpotent cone, that distinct fibers give rise to…

We compute the supports of the perverse cohomology sheaves of the Hitchin fibration for $GL_n$ over the locus of reduced spectral curves. In contrast to the case of meromorphic Higgs fields we find additional supports at the loci of…

We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ''conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…

Let $k$ be a number field and let $T$ be a $k$-torus. Consider a fibration in torsors under $T$, i.e. a morphism $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ from a smooth, projective $k$-variety $X$ to $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ such that the generic fibre $X_\eta \to…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. We give new criteria for determining when M tensor N has torsion. We also give constructive formulas for producing a module in the isomorphism class…
