Cohomology of hyperkähler moduli spaces via arithmetic harmonic analysis -- Tamás Hausel

We show that abelian and non-abelian Fourier transform over finite fields is  the right tool to count solutions of holomorphic moment map equations over finite fields.  In turn this will give a wealth of information on Betti numbers of those hyperkähler moduli spaces, which arise by a finite holomorphic symplectic quotient construction. These include: toric hyperkähler varieties, Nakajima's quiver varieties, Hilbert schemes of n points and moduli spaces of instantons on C^2;  GL(n,C) representation varieties of Riemann surfaces, and moduli spaces of flat GL(n,C) connections on algebraic curves.
