P=W for nodal curves
Michael McBreen, C L E Moore Instructor, Mathematics, MIT,

I will describe the P=W conjecture of de Cataldo-Hausel-Migliorini. It concerns the moduli of local systems and higgs bundles on a smooth curve, and the relation between their cohomology groups. I will then discuss work in progress with Zsuzsanna Dancso and Vivek Shende to formulate and prove an analogous conjecture for nodal curves.
