DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/WHCGP/10/">T
 he asymptotic geometry of the Hitchin moduli space</a>\nby Laura Fredricks
 on (Stanford / U. Oregon) as part of Western Hemisphere colloquium on geom
 etry and physics\n\n\nAbstract\nHitchin's equations are a system of gauge 
 theoretic equations on a Riemann surface that are of interest in many area
 s including representation theory\, Teichmuller theory\, and the geometric
  Langlands correspondence. The Hitchin moduli space carries a natural hype
 rkahler metric. An intricate conjectural description of its asymptotic str
 ucture appears in the work of physicists Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke and there h
 as been a lot of progress on this recently. I will discuss some recent res
 ults using tools coming out of geometric analysis which are well-suited fo
 r verifying these extremely delicate conjectures. This strategy often stre
 tches the limits of what can currently be done via geometric analysis\, an
 d simultaneously leads to new insights into these conjectures.\n
