Vanishing Chern classes for numerically flat Higgs bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2025-08-12 v5

Abstract

I consider Higgs bundles satisfying a notion of ampleness that was introduce Bruzzo, Gra\~na Otero and Hern\'andez Ruip\'erez, and prove that the Chern classes of rank rr H-ample Higgs bundles over dimension nn, polarized, smooth, complex, projective varieties are positive under opportune hypothesis. I extend this to non-negativeness of Chern classes of all numerically effective Higgs bundles; and use this condition to prove the vanishing of Chern classes of numerically flat Higgs bundles.
