Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented negatively curved surface. A unitary connection on a Hermitian vector bundle over $M$ is said to be transparent if its parallel transport along the closed geodesics of $g$ is the identity. We study the space…
Let $M$ be a closed orientable Riemannian surface. Consider an SO(3)-connection $A$ and a Higgs field $\Phi:M\to so(3)$. The pair $(A,\Phi)$ naturally induces a cocycle over the geodesic flow of $M$. We classify (up to gauge…
