We prove a closed formula counting semistable twisted Higgs bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve defined over a finite field. We also prove a formula for the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the moduli spaces of…
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…
We compare two notions of $G$-fiber bundles and $G$-principal bundles in the literature, with an aim to clarify early results in equivariant bundle theory that are needed in current work of equivariant algebraic topology. We also give…
We investigate the geometry of holomorphic vector bundles $E$ over a Riemann surface $C$ together with a section of the endomorphism bundle tensored with $K^{1/2}$ -- a square root of the canonical bundle $K$. These parallel to some extent…
Let T be the one-dimensional complex torus. We consider the action of an automorphism of a Riemann surface X on the cohomology of the T-equivariant determinant line bundle over the moduli space of rank two Higgs bundles on X with fixed…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and let $D\subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. We considered the moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles and of parabolic connections over $X$ with the parabolic structure over $D$.…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a field of characteristic zero and let $D$ be a non-empty set of rational points of $X$. We calculate the motivic classes of moduli stacks of semistable parabolic bundles with connections on $(X,D)$…
Working in the category of smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, we review notions of ampleness and numerical nefness for Higgs bundles which "feel" the Higgs field and formulate criteria of the…
The non-abelian Hodge correspondence identifies complex variations of Hodge structures with certain Higgs bundles. In this work we analyze this relationship, and some of its ramifications, when the variations of Hodge structures are…
Let E be the total space of a locally trivial torus bundle over the surface \Sigma_g of genus g>1. Using the Seiberg--Witten theory and spectral sequences we prove that E carries a symplectic structure if and only if the homology class of…
We examine Higgs bundles for non-compact real forms of SO(4,C) and the isogenous complex group SL(2,C)XSL(2,C). This involves a study of non-regular fibers in the corresponding Hitchin fibrations and provides interesting examples of…
We define a categorical birational invariant for minimal geometrically rational surfaces with a conic bundle structure over a perfect field via components of a natural semiorthogonal decomposition. Together with the similar known result on…
This paper is a survey on the role of Higgs bundle theory in the study of higher Teichm\"uller spaces. Recall that the Teichm\"uller space of a compact surface can be identified with a certain connected component of the moduli space of…
It has been observed, by S. Rayan, that the complex projective surfaces that potentially admit non-trivial examples of semistable co-Higgs bundles must be found at the lower end of the Enriques-Kodaira classification. Motivated by this…
In this paper, we generalize the spectral correspondence for parabolic Higgs bundles established by Diaconescu--Donagi--Pantev to the relative setting. We show that the relative moduli space of $\vec{\xi}$-parabolic Higgs bundles on a curve…
We provide notions of numerical effectiveness and numerical flatness for Higgs vector bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds in terms of fibre metrics. We prove several properties of bundles satisfying such conditions and in particular we…
We describe moduli spaces of logarithmic rank $2$ connections on elliptic curves with $n \geq 1$ poles and generic residues. In particular, we generalize a previous work by the first and second named authors. Our main approach is to analyze…
Let $(X,D)$ and $(X',D')$ be two compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g \geq 4$ with the set of marked points $D \subset X$ and $D' \subset X'$. Fix a parabolic line bundle $L$ with trivial parabolic structure. Let…
Recent excesses across different search modes of the collaborations at the LHC seem to indicate the presence of a Higgs-like scalar particle at 125 GeV. Using the current data sets, we review and update analyses addressing the extent to…
We classify elliptic fibrations birational to a nonsingular, minimal cubic surface over a field of characteristic zero. Our proof is adapted to provide computational techniques for the analysis of such fibrations, and we describe an…
