We review the notions of (weak) Hermitian-Yang-Mills structure and approximate Hermitian-Yang-Mills structure for Higgs bundles. Then, we construct the Donaldson functional for Higgs bundles over compact K\"ahler manifolds and we present…
We generalize the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence between semistability and the existence of approximate Hermitian-Yang-Mills structures to the case of principal Higgs bundles. We prove that a principal Higgs bundle on a compact Kaehler…

We study the basic properties of Higgs sheaves over compact K\"ahler manifolds and we establish some results concerning the notion of semistability; in particular, we show that any extension of semistable Higgs sheaves with equal slopes is…

Let $X$ be a compact connected K\"ahler--Einstein manifold with $c_1(TX)\, \geq\, 0$. If there is a semistable Higgs vector bundle $(E\,,\theta)$ on $X$ with $\theta\,\not=\,0$, then we show that $c_1(TX)=0$, any $X$ satisfying this…
On a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ we extend the known analytic results on Yang-Mills connections to the class of connections called $\Omega$-Yang-Mills connections, where $\Omega$ is a smooth, not necessarily closed, $(n-4)$-form.…
We consider a Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold with a smooth, non-holomorphic Higgs field. We assume that the holomorphic vector bundle decomposes into a direct sum of holomorphic line bundles. Under an assumption on the zero…
In this paper, we consider the existence of approximate Hermitian-Einstein structure and the semi-stability on Higgs bundles over compact Gauduchon manifolds. By using the continuity method, we show that they are equivalent.
In this note, by using the Yang-Mills-Higgs flow, we show that semistable Higgs bundles with vanishing the first and second Chern numbers over compact K\"aher manifolds must admit a filtration whose quotients are Hermitian flat Higgs…
In this paper, we use the affine Hermitian-Yang-Mills flow to prove a generalized Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem on flat Higgs bundles over a class of non-compact affine Gauduchon manifolds.
We consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional of twist Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E,H_0)$ over a Riemann surface $X$. It is already known the gradient flow with initial data $(A_0,\phi_0)$ converges to a…
A recent paper (arxiv.org:1810.00025) studied properties of a compactification of the moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a hermitian bundle over a projective algebraic manifold. In this follow-up note, we show…
We extend the previous computations of Hermitian Yang-Mills connections for bundles on complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds to bundles on their free quotients. Bundles on quotient manifolds are often defined by equivariant bundles on…

Our aim in this work is to study a system of equations which generalises at the same time the vortex equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and the holomorphicity equation in Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. We extend some results…
It is known that the Seiberg-Witten invariants, derived from supersymmetric Yang-Mill theories in four-dimensions, do not distinguish smooth structure of certain non-simply-connected four manifolds. We propose generalizations of…
