Quantum curves were introduced in the physics literature. We develop a mathematical framework for the case associated with Hitchin spectral curves. In this context, a quantum curve is a Rees $\mathcal{D}$-module on a smooth projective…

The paper aims at giving an introduction to the notion of quantum curves. The main purpose is to describe the new discovery of the relation between the following two disparate subjects: one is the topological recursion, that has its origin…

Prior works relating meromorphic Higgs bundles to topological recursion, in particular those of Dumitrescu-Mulase, have considered non-singular models that allow the recursion to be carried out on a smooth Riemann surface. We start from an…

We generalize the topological recursion of Eynard-Orantin (2007) to the family of spectral curves of Hitchin fibrations. A spectral curve in the topological recursion, which is defined to be a complex plane curve, is replaced with a generic…

We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to quantize any generic classical spectral curve with smooth ramification points and simply ramified away from poles. For this purpose, we build both the associated quantum…

This article consists of two parts. In Part 1, we present a formulation of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories in terms of a functor from a category of Ribbon graphs to the endofuntor category of a monoidal category. The key…

Given an holomorphic Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one, we construct a DQ-module supported by the spectral curve associated to this bundle. Then, we relate quantum curves arising in various situations…

This thesis contains work which appeared in several papers. Additionally to the results in the papers it contains a detailed introduction and some further proofs and remarks. The dissertation gives a description of the topology and…

Given a spectral curve with exponential singularities (which we call a "transalgebraic spectral curve"), we extend the definition of topological recursion to include contributions from the exponential singularities in a way that is…

We construct a universal partial compactification of the relative moduli space of semistable meromorphic Higgs bundles over the stack of stable pointed curves. It parametrizes meromorphic Gieseker Higgs bundles, and is equipped with a flat…

In this paper, we consider a generalization of the theory of Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective curve in which the twisting of the Higgs field by the canonical bundle of the curve is replaced by a rank 2 vector bundle. We define…

We study the summands of the decomposition theorem for the Hitchin system for $\mathrm{GL}_n$, in arbitrary degree, over the locus of reduced spectral curves. A key ingredient is a new correspondence between these summands and the topology…

We give a geometric characterisation of the topological invariants associated to SO(m,m+1)-Higgs bundles through KO-theory and the Langlands correspondence between orthogonal and symplectic Hitchin systems. By defining the split orthogonal…

We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to compute the WKB expansion of solutions of second order differential operators obtained by quantization of any hyper-elliptic curve. We express this quantum curve in terms of…

Topological recursion associates to a spectral curve, a sequence of meromorphic differential forms. A tangent space to the "moduli space" of spectral curves (its space of deformations) is locally described by meromorphic 1-forms, and we use…

We link the periodicity of Hitchin's uniformizing Higgs bundle with the arithmetic geometry of its underlying curve. Some new relations are discovered. We also speculate on the whole class of periodic Higgs bundles.

Let $k$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field of odd characteristic. We prove that for any rank two graded Higgs bundle with maximal Higgs field over a generic hyperbolic curve $X_1$ defined over $k$, there exists a lifting $X$ of the…

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…

Starting from loop equations, we prove that the wave functions constructed from topological recursion on families of degree $2$ spectral curves with a global involution satisfy a system of partial differential equations, whose equations can…

The Renormalisation Group (RG) is a systematic procedure used to regularise divergences appearing as artefacts when constructing solutions to a large class of differential problems, whether perturbatively or not. This paper is devoted to…
