The global nilpotent variety is Lagrangian
Abstract
The purpose of this note is to present a short elementary proof of a theorem due to Faltings and Laumon, saying that the global nilpotent cone is a Lagrangian substack in the cotangent bundle of the moduli space of G-bundles on a complex compact curve. This result plays a crucial role in the Geometric Langlands program, due to Beilinson-Drinfeld, since it insures that the D-modules on the moduli space of G-bundles whose characteristic variety is contained in the global nilpotent cone are automatically holonomic, hence, e.g. have finite length.
