Non-existence of holomorphic isomonodromic deformation of a Higgs bundle

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-05 v2

Abstract

We use the cohomological interpretation of anti-holomorphic derivatives of the isomonodromic deformation of a Higgs bundle, as established in our previous work \cite{HSZ}, to provide a short new proof of the non-existence of holomorphic isomonodromic deformation of a generic \SL\SL-Higgs bundle and of any non-unitary rank 2 Higgs bundle over the Teichm\"uller space Tg\mathcal T_g, which were previously proved in \cite{biswas}. We also prove the non-existence of holomorphic isomonodromic deformation of any non-unitary rank 3 Higgs bundle over the Teichm\"uller space Tg\mathcal T_g.
