Mirror symmetry and Langlands duality in the non-Abelian Hodge theory of a curve

TLDR
The mirror symmetry conjecture of Hausel-Rodriguez-Villegas as discussed by the authors is related to the mirror symmetry conjectures of Hitchin, Gothen, Garsia-Haiman and Earl-Kirwan.
Abstract
The paper surveys the mirror symmetry conjectures of Hausel-Thaddeus and Hausel-Rodriguez-Villegas concerning the equality of certain Hodge numbers of SL(n, ℂ) vs. PGL(n, ℂ) flat connections and character varieties for curves, respectively. Several new results and conjectures and their relations to works of Hitchin, Gothen, Garsia-Haiman and Earl-Kirwan are explained. These use the representation theory of finite groups of Lie-type via the arithmetic of character varieties and lead to an unexpected conjecture for a Hard Lefschetz theorem for their cohomology.

The Yang-Mills equations over Riemann surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory, and the main result is that this is a perfect 9 functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry.

The self-duality equations on a riemann surface

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied a special class of solutions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations on Riemann surfaces and showed that the moduli space of all solutions turns out to be a manifold with an extremely rich geometric structure.

Mirror symmetry is T duality

TL;DR: In this paper, it was argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles and that the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y.
