On motives of parabolic Higgs bundles and parabolic connections
Abstract
Let XX be a compact Riemann surface of genus g≥2g≥2 and let D⊂XD⊂X be a fixed finite subset. We considered the moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles and of parabolic connections over XX with the parabolic structure over DD. For generic weights, we showed that these two moduli spaces have equal Grothendieck motivic classes and their EE-polynomials are the same. We also show that the Voevodsky and Chow motives of these two moduli spaces are also equal. We showed that the Grothendieck motivic classes and the EE-polynomials of parabolic Higgs moduli and of parabolic Hodge moduli are closely related. Finally, we considered the moduli spaces with fixed determinants and showed that the above results also hold for the fixed determinant case.
