Complete integrability of the parahoric Hitchin system (1608.05454v3)

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a parahoric group scheme over a complex projective curve $X$ of genus greater than one. Let $\mathrm{Bun}{\mathcal{G}}$ denote the moduli stack of $\mathcal{G}$-torsors on $X$. We prove several results concerning the Hitchin map on $T^*!\mathrm{Bun}{\mathcal{G}}$. We first show that the parahoric analogue of the global nilpotent cone is isotropic and use this to prove that $\mathrm{Bun}_{\mathcal{G}}$ is "very good" in the sense of Beilinson-Drinfeld. We then prove that the parahoric Hitchin map is a Poisson map whose generic fibres are abelian varieties. Together, these results imply that the parahoric Hitchin map is a completely integrable system.
