Abstract

We study the moduli space M_{G} (A) of flat G-bundles on an Abelian surface A, where G is a compact, simple, simply connected, connected Lie group. Equivalently, M_{G} (A) is the (coarse) moduli space of s-equivalence classes of holomorphic semi-stable G^{\cnums }-bundles with trivial Chern classes. M_{G} (A) has the structure of a hyperk\"ahler orbifold. We show that when G is Sp(n) or SU (n), M_{G} (A) has a natural hyperk\"ahler desingularization which we exhibit as a moduli space of G^{\cnums }-bundles with an altered stability condition. In this way, we obtain the two known families of hyperk\"ahler manifolds, the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface and the generalized Kummer varieties. We show that for G not Sp (n) or SU (n), the moduli space M_{G} (A) does \emph{not} admit a hyperk\"ahler resolution. \sloppy{Inspired by the physicists Vafa and Zaslow, Batyrev and Dais define ``stringy Hodge numbers'' for certain orbifolds. These numbers have been proven to agree with the Hodge numbers of a crepant resolution (when it exists). We directly compute the stringy Hodge numbers of M_{SU (n)} (A) and M_{Sp (n)} (A), thus deriving formulas (originally due to G\"ottsche and G\"ottsche-Soergel) for the Hodge numbers of the Hilbert schemes of points on K3 surfaces and generalized Kummer varieties.}
