Variations on a Theme of Hitchin's System

Explore recent developments involving Hitchin's system in this 53-minute lecture by Ron Donagi from the University of Pennsylvania. Delve into connections with SCFTs of Class S, examine extensions to families of integrable systems over the Deligne-Mumford moduli of stable curves, investigate the geometry of the base, and uncover links to the Deligne-Simpson problem. Gain insights into advanced mathematical concepts and their applications in theoretical physics and algebraic geometry.
