Feb 4, 2013 at 16:49 comment added Pavel Safronov ... In general, however, $c$ does not carry an algebra structure and there is no analogous $\mathrm{rk} G:1$ cover, only a (ramified) $|W|:1$ cover parametrizing Borels containing $c$.
Feb 4, 2013 at 16:47 comment added Pavel Safronov Just to illustrate the necessity of cameral covers for general groups. If you have a regular Higgs field $\phi\in H^0(X, \mathrm{ad} P\otimes K)$, its centralizer $c\subset \mathrm{ad} P$ will be a subbundle of abelian Lie algebras (its rank is the rank of the group). When $G=GL_n$, the multiplication on $\mathrm{ad} P$ descends to a commutative algebra structure on $c$, so you can take the relative Spec of $c$ to obtain the spectral cover...

Feb 4, 2013 at 7:23 comment added IMeasy you didn't define $X$. Is $X=C$?
