I am grateful to Michael Thaddeus for his inspiring paper [Thai], enlightening communications and his constant interest in my work. I am also indebted to Manfred Lehn for the idea of the proof of Theorem 6.2. I have found\r\nconversations with Michael Atiyah, Frances Kirwan and Graeme Segal very stimulating. I thank the Mathematical Institute and St. Catherine's College, Oxford for their hospitality during the preparation of this work. Finally I thank Trinity College, Cambridge for financial support.","main_file_link":[{"url":"http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9805071","open_access":"1"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1095-0761"]},"date_published":"1998-09-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","status":"public","publication":"Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics","external_id":{"arxiv":["math/9805071"]},"quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","article_processing_charge":"No","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"issue":"5","publist_id":"5747","publisher":"International Press","abstract":[{"text":"In this paper we consider the topological side of a problem which is the analogue of Sen's S-duality testing conjecture for Hitchin's moduli space M of rank 2 stable Higgs bundles of fixed determinant of odd degree over a Riemann surface ∑. We prove that all intersection numbers in the compactly supported cohomology of M vanish, i.e. &quot;there are no topological L2 harmonic forms on M&quot;. This result generalizes the well known vanishing of the Euler characteristic of the moduli space of rank 2 stable bundles N of fixed determinant of odd degree over ∑. Our proof shows that the vanishing of all intersection numbers of H* cpt(M) is given by relations analogous to the Mumford relations in the cohomology ring of N.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Hausel, Tamás. “Vanishing of Intersection Numbers on the Moduli Space of Higgs Bundles.” <i>Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics</i>.
