Description
The project stands at the crossroads between representation theory and geometry. It aims at discovering new algebraic structures (Lie algebras associated with curves) which should encode geometric properties of (moduli) spaces appearing in the so-called Riemann-Hilbert and the non-abelian Hodge correspondences for curves. We expect that this theory of Lie algebras associated with curves will unlock a new striking connection between geometry, algebra, and physics, which needs to be investigated further.
