If you have a question about this talk, please contact Burt Totaro.

I will introduce and survey progress on topological mirror symmetry conjectures for Hitchin systems of Langlands dual groups. I will propose that considering the perverse filtration for the Hitchin map leads to solutions to three basic problems with the original picture: Why two mirror symmetry conjectures? Why the same Hodge numbers, not mirrored ones? Why geometric Langlands, not classical Langlands?
