Abstract

Geometric Langlands duality relates a representation of a simple Lie group Gv to the cohomology of a certain moduli space associated with the dual group G. In this correspondence, a principal SL2 subgroup of Gv makes an unexpected appearance. This can be explained using gauge theory, as this paper will show, with the help of the equations of Nahm and Bogomolny.
