The P = W conjecture for fixed-determinant (SL_n) Higgs moduli in composite rank

Theorem 1.1: Pk=W2k=W2k+1P_k=W_{2k}=W_{2k+1} on all of H∗(XB,Q)H^*(X^B,\mathbb Q) for the smooth coprime fixed-determinant, trace-free moduli in every composite rank n≥4n\ge4, genus g≥2g\ge2, including the variant (non-Γ\Gamma-invariant) cohomology; with the earlier prime-rank theorems this gives the fixed-determinant conjecture in every coprime rank. A corollary answers Maulik-Shen's Question 5.5 on Betti weights of endoscopic images. Non-coprime (singular) cases and other groups are not treated.
