X Abstract

We show that the Hitchin integrable system for a simple complex Lie group $G$ is dual to the Hitchin system for the Langlands dual group $\lanG$. In particular, the general fiber of the connected component $\Higgs_0$ of the Hitchin system for $G$ is an abelian variety which is dual to the corresponding fiber of the connected component of the Hitchin system for $\lanG$. The non-neutral connected components $\Higgs_α$ form torsors over $\Higgs_0$. We show that their duals are gerbes over $\Higgs_0$ which are induced by the gerbe of $G$-Higgs bundles $\gHiggs$. More generally, we establish a duality between the gerbe $\gHiggs$ of $G$-Higgs bundles and the gerbe $\lan\gHiggs$ of $\lanG$-Higgs bundles, which incorporates all the previous dualities. All these results extend immediately to an arbirtary connected complex reductive group $\mathbbG$.
