Finite group actions on genus two $SL(2, \mathbb{C})$-character variety and applications to SCFTs

Abstract: We investigate irreducible components of the fixed point sets of $ SL(2,\mathbb{C}) $-character variety of the genus two surface group under orientation preserving actions of the finite groups of the $ Mod(Σ{2}) $. We work in the $ \mathcal{O} $-generator presentation of the genus two DAHA and its classical limit $ \mathcal{A}{q=1,t} $, where we observe nontrivial coincidences between fixed loci attached to different subgroups and establish genus/irregularity transitions. The subvarieties obtained in this way provide novel geometric candidates for symmetry-reduced moduli spaces relevant to $ 4d $ $ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ SCFTs.
