contents We construct natural operators connecting the cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable Higgs bundles with different ranks and genera which, after numerical specialization, recover the topological mirror symmetry conjecture of Hausel-Thaddeus concerning $\mathrm{SL}_n$- and $\mathrm{PGL}_n$-Higgs bundles. This provides a complete description of the cohomology of the moduli space of stable $\mathrm{SL}_n$-Higgs bundles in terms of the tautological classes, and gives a new proof of the Hausel-Thaddeus conjecture, proven recently by Gröchenig-Wyss-Ziegler via p-adic integration. Our method is to relate the decomposition theorem for the Hitchin fibration, using vanishing cycle functors, to the decomposition theorem for the twisted Hitchin fibration whose supports are simpler.
