We construct a Petersson-Weil type K\"ahler form on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles over a compact K\"ahler manifold. A fiber integral formula for this form is proved, from which it follows that the Petersson-Weil form is the curvature…

We consider the moduli space of vector bundles of rank $n$ and degree $ng$ over a fixed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We use the explicit parametrization in terms of the Tyurin data. In the moduli space there is a "non-abelian" Theta…

In this paper we study $G$-Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve when the structure group $G$ is a classical complex reductive Lie group. Modifying the notion of family, we define a new moduli problem for the classification of semistable…

We place the representation variety in the broader context of abelian and nonabelian cohomology. We outline the equivalent constructions of the moduli spaces of flat bundles, of smooth integrable connections, and of holomorphic integrable…

We will study the Hitchin's hamiltonian system for a modular stack of principal SL_2(C) bundle on a smooth projective curve which has a parabolic reduction at certain points. As an application we will obtain a generalization of the…

In this paper, we establish the Hitchin--Kobayashi correspondence for the $I_\pm$-holomorphic quiver bundle $\mathcal{E}=(E,\phi)$ over a compact generalized K\"{a}hler manifold $(X, I_+,I_-,g, b)$ such that $g$ is Gauduchon with respect to…

Arising from a topological twist of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory are the Kapustin-Witten equations, a family of gauge-theoretic equations on a four-manifold parametrized by $t\in\mathbb{P}^1$. The parameter corresponds to a…
