Untwisting the twisted character variety via a stacky curve

Given a smooth projective curve $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we show that the twisted character variety of $X$ is equivalent to a component of the character variety of a stacky curve $\mathcal{X}$, constructed by adding an orbifold point to $X$. This allows to interpret the non abelian Hodge correspondence in degree $d$ over...
