Abstract

Let Mn,d\mathcal{M}_{n,d} be the moduli space of semi-stable rank nn, trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of degree dd on a Riemann surface of genus at least 33. We determine the following automorphism groups of Mn,d\mathcal{M}_{n,d}: (i) the group of automorphisms as a complex analytic variety, (ii) the group of holomorphic symplectomorphisms, (iii) the group of K\"ahler isomorphisms, (iv) the group of automorphisms of the quaternionic structure, (v) the group of hyper-K\"ahler isomorphisms. When nn and dd are coprime we show that Mn,d\mathcal{M}_{n,d} admits an anti-holomorphic isomorphism if and only if the corresponding Riemann surface admits such a map. We then use this to determine the isometry group of Mn,d\mathcal{M}_{n,d}.
