Title：The Hitchin map, the spectral base and rigidity
Abstract：In this talk, I will start with a brief introduction to the non-abelian Hodge theory and also the Hitchin map. Then I will talk about the spectral base introduced by Chen and Ngo and discuss some applications to the rigidity problem of the linear representation of fundamental groups of projective manifolds, This is based on joint works with Siqi He and Ngaiming Mok.
