DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/BUGeom/9/">T
 he Asymptotic geometry of the Hitchin moduli space</a>\nby Laura Fredricks
 on (University of Oregon) as part of Boston University Geometry/Physics Se
 minar\n\n\nAbstract\nHitchin's equations are a system of gauge theoretic e
 quations on a Riemann surface that are of interest in many areas including
  representation theory\, Teichm\\"uller theory\, and the geometric Langlan
 ds correspondence. The Hitchin moduli space carries a natural hyperk\\"ahl
 er metric.  An intricate conjectural description of its asymptotic structu
 re appears in the work of physicists Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke and there has b
 een a lot of progress on this recently.  I will discuss some recent result
 s using tools coming out of geometric analysis which are well-suited for v
 erifying these extremely delicate conjectures. This strategy often stretch
 es the limits of what can currently be done via\ngeometric analysis\, and 
 simultaneously leads to new insights into these conjectures.\n
