Mirror symmetry for parabolic Higgs bundles via $p$-adic integration

Abstract: Applying the technique of $p$-adic integration, we prove the topological mirror symmetry conjecture of Hausel-Thaddeus for the moduli spaces of (strongly) parabolic Higgs bundles for the structure groups $\text{SL}_n$ and $\text{PGL}_n$, building on previous work of Groechenig-Wyss-Ziegler on the non-parabolic case. We also prove the $E$-polynomial of the smooth moduli space of parabolic $\text{GL}_n$-Higgs bundles is independent of the degree of the underlying vector bundles.
