Abstract

We study the limiting behavior of the solutions hth_t of the Hitchin's equation associated with a family of stable SU(1,2) Higgs bundles (L,F,tβ,tγ)(L,F,t\beta,t\gamma) on a compact connected Riemann surface XX as tt\to\infty under the assumption that the quadratic differential q=βγq=\beta\cdot\gamma have simple zeros at DD. The spectral data of the SU(1,2) Higgs bundle (L,F,β,γ)(L,F,\beta,\gamma) can be represented by a Hecke modification of V=L2KXLKXV=L^{-2}K_X\oplus LK_X. We show by a gluing construction that after appropriate rescaling, the limit is given by a metric on VV singular at DD, induced by harmonic metrics adapted to parabolic structures on LL and on KXK_X at DD. We give rules to determine the parabolic weights of the limit.
