Abstract

Non-abelian Hodge theory is a profound three-way equivalence between topological, smooth and holomorphic objects, i.e. representations of the fundamental group, flat connections and Higgs bundles. It is natural to explore a group-theoretic or multiplicative version — an enterprise that has been untaken by Soibelman, Kontsevich, Mochizuki and others. In this talk, we will review the current landscape of multiplicative non-abelian Hodge theory and discuss some outstanding questions.
