Katz. We deduce from this calculation several geometric results, for example, the value of the topological Euler characteristic of the associated PGL(n,ℂ)-character variety. The calculation also leads to several conjectures about the cohomology of Mn: an explicit conjecture for its mixed Hodge polynomial; a conjectured curious hard Lefschetz theorem and a conjecture relating the pure part to absolutely indecomposable representations of a certain quiver. We prove these conjectures for n=2.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Springer","publist_id":"5732","volume":174,"month":"12","page":"555 - 624","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:50:54Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:52:09Z","publication":"Inventiones Mathematicae","_id":"1460","title":"Mixed Hodge polynomials of character varieties: With an appendix by Nicholas M.
