Furthermore, we would like to thank him for bringing [25] to our attention. We also thank Alexander Kupers for enlightening conversations about the Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence and for pointing out a reference. We are grateful to Victoria Hoskins and Simon Pepin-Lehalleur for sharing a preprint of their recent paper on a motivic version of topological mirror symmetry and for useful remarks on Section 6. Anne Larsen pointed out that our previous proof Lemma 4.5 was incomplete, we thank her for bringing this to our attention. We are grateful to the anonymous referee for many valuable comments that have improved the paper tremendously. The report we received was one of the most detailed referee report either of us has ever seen. We thank them for their hard work and the resulting contribution to this paper. Michael Groechenig was supported by an NSERC discovery grant and an Alfred P. Sloan\r\nfellowship.

Along the way, we prove the vanishing of torsion for H ∗ ( M ) and certain twisted complex K-theory groups of M . We also extend Arinkin’s autoduality of compactified Jacobian to a derived equivalence between SL n​ - and PGL n​ -Hitchin systems over the elliptic locus. In the appendix, we develop a formalism of G-sheaves of spectra, generalising equivariant homotopy theory to a relative setting."}],"year":"2025","status":"public","arxiv":1}
