AbstractThe moduli spaces of flat $${\text{SL}}_2$$ SL 2 - and $${\text{PGL}}_2$$ PGL 2 -connections are known to be singular SYZ-mirror partners. We establish the equality of Hodge numbers of their intersection (stringy) cohomology. In rank two, this answers a question raised by Tamás Hausel in Remark 3.30 of “Global topology of the Hitchin system”.

AbstractCuller and Vogtmann defined a simplicial spaceO(g), calledouter space, to study the outer automorphism group of the free groupFg. Using representation theoretic methods, we give an embedding ofO(g) into the analytification of X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)), theSL2(ℂ) character variety ofFg, reproving a result of Morgan and Shalen. Then we show that every pointvcontained in a maximal cell ofO(g) defines a flat degeneration of X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) to a toric varietyX(PΓ). We relate X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) andX(v) topologically by showing that there is a surjective, continuous, proper map Ξv:X(Fg,SL2(ℂ)) →X(v). We then show that this map is a symplectomorphism on a dense open subset of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) with respect to natural symplectic structures on X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) andX(v). In this way, we construct an integrable Hamiltonian system in X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) for each point in a maximal cell ofO(g), and we show that eachvdefines a topological decomposition of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)) derived from the decomposition ofX(PΓ) by its torus orbits. Finally, we show that the valuations coming from the closure of a maximal cell inO(g) all arise as divisorial valuations built from an associated projective compactification of X(Fg, SL2(ℂ)).

Homological Stability

Abstract In this paper, we study homological stability for spaces $\textrm{Hom}({{\mathbb{Z}}}^n,G)$ of pairwise commuting $n$-tuples in a Lie group $G$. We prove that for each $n\geqslant 1$, these spaces satisfy rational homological stability as $G$ ranges through any of the classical sequences of compact, connected Lie groups, or their complexifications. We prove similar results for rational equivariant homology, for character varieties, and for the infinite-dimensional analogues of these spaces, $\textrm{Comm}(G)$ and $B_{\textrm{com}} G$, introduced by Cohen–Stafa and Adem–Cohen–Torres-Giese, respectively. In addition, we show that the rational homology of the space of unordered commuting $n$-tuples in a fixed group $G$ stabilizes as $n$ increases. Our proofs use the theory of representation stability—in particular, the theory of $\textrm{FI}_W$-modules developed by Church–Ellenberg–Farb and Wilson. In all of the these results, we obtain specific bounds on the stable range, and we show that the homology isomorphisms are induced by maps of spaces.

Using Auroux’s description of Fukaya categories of symmetric products of punctured surfaces, we compute the partially wrapped Fukaya category of the complement of $k+1$ generic hyperplanes in $\mathbb{CP}^{n}$, for $k\geqslant n$, with respect to certain stops in terms of the endomorphism algebra of a generating set of objects. The stops are chosen so that the resulting algebra is formal. In the case of the complement of $n+2$ generic hyperplanes in $\mathbb{C}P^{n}$ ($n$-dimensional pair of pants), we show that our partial wrapped Fukaya category is equivalent to a certain categorical resolution of the derived category of the singular affine variety $x_{1}x_{2}\ldots x_{n+1}=0$. By localizing, we deduce that the (fully) wrapped Fukaya category of the $n$-dimensional pair of pants is equivalent to the derived category of $x_{1}x_{2}\ldots x_{n+1}=0$. We also prove similar equivalences for finite abelian covers of the $n$-dimensional pair of pants.
