Multiplicative Hitchin fibrations and Langlands duality
We identify pairs of (twisted) multiplicative Hitchin fibrations which are "dual" in the sense that their bases are identified and their generic fibres are dual Beilinson $1$-motives. More precisely, we match the following: (1) an untwisted multiplicative Hitchin fibration associated with a simply-laced semisimple group $G$ with an untwisted multiplicative Hitchin fibration associated with the Langlands dual group $G^\vee$; (2) a twisted multiplicative Hitchin fibration associated with a simply…

Colossus, with deeply reported profiles of tech and business moguls, is a magazine where "punches will be pulled, but the reading pleasure isn't sacrificed" (Hiten Samtani/@hitsamty)

The team at Colossus is breaking something in magazine journalism in a fascinating way. Let me try to articulate. Even just a few years ago, if you wanted to read a beautifully written, exhaustively reported and actually interesting piece on someone shaping a corner of the

TIL about Widmanstätten-structures, a pattern of cross-hatching lines on the surface of iron-rich meteorites. The pattern was named after Alois Joseph Franz Xaver Beck Edler von Widmanstätten.

When you're running low on fake criminals to arrest for made up reasons, so you try to expand the pool a bit!

Possibly too extreme for #monsterdon but I expect it was really banned for the bacchanal wine-press scene. A 'coming of age' film for the 'mid-life crisis' folks 😅

From Hitchin Systems to Rational Elliptic Surfaces with C*-actions via Orbifold Hilbert Schemes
Using orbifold Hilbert schemes, we compactify all two-dimensional Hitchin systems corresponding to types A0-tilde, D4-tilde, E6-tilde, E7-tilde, and E8-tilde, thereby obtaining four rational elliptic surfaces with C*-actions. Their singular fibers and relative minimal models are listed in the main table. To this end, we prove that Hilbert schemes of orbifold surfaces are connected smooth projective schemes under suitable conditions, and we use the Hilbert-Chow morphism to construct the minimal …
