In this paper, we study the algebraic symplectic geometry of the singular moduli spaces of Higgs bundles of degree $0$ and rank $n$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$. In particular, we prove that such moduli spaces are…
The global nilpotent cone N is a singular stack associated to the choice of an algebraic group G, a smooth projective curve X, and a line bundle L on X, which is of fundamental importance to the Geometric Langlands Program, and which is of…
We prove an analog of the Verlinde formula on the moduli space of semistable meromorphic G-Higgs bundles over a smooth curve for a reductive group G whose fundamental group is free. The formula expresses the graded dimension of the space of…
Let $M$ be a compact complex manifold equipped with a Gauduchon metric. If $TM$ is holomorphically trivial, and (V, \theta) is a stable SL(r,{\mathbb C})-Higgs bundle on $M$, then we show that $\theta= 0$. We show that the correspondence…
We define a Fourier-Mukai transform for Higgs bundles on smooth curves and study its properties. It is shown that the transform of a stable zero-degree Higgs bundle is an algebraic vector bundle on the cotangent bundle of the Jacobian of…
In this paper, we study the moduli space of Higgs pairs, which can be considered as a generalization of holomorphic pairs. Higgs pairs are an example of quiver bundles. We introduce the notion of $\tau$-stability of Higgs pairs for…
We prove that irreducible representations of the elliptic affine Hecke algebras of Ginzburg, Kapranov, and Vasserot are in one-to-one correspondence with certain nilpotent Higgs bundles on the elliptic curve. The main tool we use is the…
We provide an algebraic framework for quantization of Hermitian metrics that are solutions of the Hitchin equation for Higgs bundles over a projective manifold. Using Geometric Invariant Theory, we introduce a notion of balanced metrics in…
We specify the conjecture about the structure of the Coulomb branch of N=2 supersymmetric quantum field theories in four dimensions.
In this paper, we construct a stable parabolic Higgs bundle of rank two, which corresponds to the uniformization associated with a conformal hyperbolic metric on a compact Riemann surface $\overline{X}$ with prescribed singularities. This…
A principal Higgs bundle $(P,\phi)$ over a singular curve $X$ is a pair consisting of a principal bundle $P$ and a morphism $\phi:X\to\text{Ad}P \otimes \Omega^1_X$. We construct the moduli space of principal Higgs G-bundles over an…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$. We prove that a parabolic vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$ on $X$ is (strongly) wobbly, i.e. $\mathcal{E}$ has a non-zero (strongly) parabolic nilpotent Higgs field, if and…
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…
Let $X$ be a smooth, connected complex projective curve of genus at least $2$. A Higgs coherent system is an augmented bundle $(E,V)$, where $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle, and $V$ is a linear subspace of the spaces of Higgs bundles of…
Let $C$ be a smooth complex projective curve and $G$ a connected complex reductive group. We prove that if the center $Z(G)$ of $G$ is disconnected, then the Kirwan map $H^*\big(\operatorname{Bun}(G,C),\mathbb{Q}\big)\rightarrow…
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…
This is a review article exploring similarities between moduli of quiver representations and moduli of vector bundles over a smooth projective curve. After describing the basic properties of these moduli problems and constructions of their…
