Using the $L^2$-norm of the Higgs field as a Morse function, we count the number of connected components of the moduli space of parabolic $U(p,q)$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a finite number of marked points, under certain…

A general conjecture is stated on the cone of automorphic vector bundles admitting nonzero global sections on schemes endowed with a smooth, surjective morphism to a stack of $G$-zips of connected-Hodge-type; such schemes should include all…

Let $D\ge 1$ be an integer. In the Enright-Howe-Wallach classification list of the unitary highest weight modules of $\widetilde{\mr{Spin}}(2, D+1)$, the (nontrivial) Wallach representations in Case II, Case III, and the mirror of Case III…

Given a flat, finite group scheme G finitely presented over a base scheme we introduce the notion of ramified Galois cover of group G (or simply G-cover), which generalizes the notion of G-torsor. We study the stack of G-covers, denoted…

Moduli spaces of admissible covers and stable maps of target curves give rise to cycles on $\overline{M}_{g,n}$. We prove a formula relating these cycles. It recovers both the Ekedahl-Lando-Shapiro-Vainshtein formula and the…

We give a differential geometric construction of the holomorphic family of Higgs bundle moduli spaces over a curve C as a fibration over Teichm\"uller space. The method uses a function f defined on the character variety, essentially the…

We describe the modular operad structure on the moduli spaces of pointed stable curves equipped with an admissible $G$-cover. To do this we are forced to introduce the notion of an operad colored not by a set but by the objects of a…

Let X be a noetherian scheme defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p, and G be a finite group, of order divisible by p, acting on X. We introduce a refinement of the equivariant K-theory of X to take into…

We prove a closed formula counting semistable twisted (or meromorphic) Higgs bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve of genus g, defined over a finite field, when the degree of the twisting line bundle is at least…

We introduce the notion of generalized hyperpolygon, which arises as a representation, in the sense of Nakajima, of a comet-shaped quiver. We identify these representations with rigid geometric figures, namely pairs of polygons: one in the…

Ideas from Hodge theory have found important applications in representation theory. We give a survey of joint work with Ben Elias which uncovers Hodge theoretic structure in the Hecke category ("Soergel bimodules"). We also outline…

Grothendieck-Witt spectra represent higher Grothendieck-Witt groups and higher Hermitian K-theory in particular. A description of the Grothendieck-Witt spectrum of a finite dimensional projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{E})$ over a base…

We show that an irreducible component of the Hodge locus of a polarizable variation of Hodge structure of weight 0 on a smooth complex variety X is defined over an algebraically closed subfield k of finite transcendence degree if X is…

We axiomatize the algebraic properties of toroidal compactifications of (mixed) Shimura varieties and their automorphic vector bundles. A notion of generalized automorphic sheaf is proposed which includes sheaves of (meromorphic) sections…

We shall construct a natural Higgs bundle structure on the complexified K\"ahler cone of a compact K\"ahler manifold, which can be seen as an analogy of the classical Higgs bundle structure associated to a variation of Hodge structure. In…

We prove a rigidity result for automorphisms of points of certain stacks admitting adequate moduli spaces. It encompasses as special cases variations of the moduli of $G$-bundles on a smooth projective curve for a reductive algebraic group…

We use the theory of Hodge modules to construct Viehweg-Zuo sheaves on the base spaces of families with maximal variation and fibers of general type, or more generally whose geometric generic fiber has a good minimal model. We deduce…
