We shall construct a natural Higgs bundle structure on the complexified K\"ahler cone of a compact K\"ahler manifold, which can be seen as an analogy of the classical Higgs bundle structure associated to a variation of Hodge structure. In…

In the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs mass around 125 GeV implies that the electroweak vacuum is metastable since the quartic Higgs coupling turns negative at high energies. I point out that a tiny mixing of the Higgs with a heavy singlet…

Within the scalar-tensor theory of gravity with Higgs mechanism without Higgs particles, we prove that the excited Higgs potential (the scalar field) vanishs inside and outside of the stellar matter for static spherically symmetric…

Given a smooth toric variety $X$, the action of the torus $T$ lifts to the moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of stable sheaves on $X$. Using the pioneering work of Klyacho, a fairly explicit combinatorial description of the fixed point locus…

Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $F$ a torsion-free and reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$. Assume that $F$ (outside of its singularities) admits a connection with a curvature which is invariant under the standard SU(2)-action on…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\mathcal H$ the space of K\"ahler metrics cohomologous to $\omega$. If a cscK metric exists in $\mathcal H$, we show that all finite energy minimizers of the extended K-energy are smooth…

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…

We study three instability stratifications of the stack of twisted Higgs bundle of a fixed rank and degree on a smooth complex projective curve. The first is the Harder-Narasimhan (HN) stratification, defined by the instability type of the…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective variety and $\Delta$ a simple normal crossing $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor with coefficients in $(0,1]$. For any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-line bundle $L$ over $S$, we denote by $\mathscr{E}(L)$ the extension sheaf of the…

Given a flat gauge field $\nabla$ on a vector bundle $F$ over a manifold $M$ we deduce a necessary and sufficient condition for the field $\nabla+ E$, with $E$ an ${\rm End}(F)$-valued $1$-form, to be a Yang-Mills field. For each curve of…

We study a chiral Yukawa model mimicking the Higgs-top-bottom sector of the standard model. We re-analyze the conventional arguments that relate a lower bound for the Higgs mass with vacuum stability in the light of exact results for the…

The so-called Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence, proved by Donaldson, Uhlenbeck and Yau, establishes that an indecomposable holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold admits a Hermitian-Einstein metric if and only if the bundle…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold. We establish a stability result for solutions to complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations with right-hand side in $L^p$, $p>1$. Using this we prove that the solutions are H\"older continuous with…

After establishing suitable notions of stability and Chern classes for singular pairs, we use K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with conical and cuspidal singularities to prove the slope semistability of orbifold tangent sheaves of minimal…

Twin Higgs models are economical extensions of the Standard Model that stabilize the electroweak scale. In these theories the Higgs field is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that is protected against radiative corrections up to scales of…

In this article, we systematically investigate the stability properties of certain warped product Einstein manifolds. We characterize stability of these metrics in terms of an eigenvalue condition of the Einstein operator on the base…

Twin Higgs models are the prime illustration of neutral naturalness, where the new particles of the twin sector, gauge singlets of the Standard Model (SM), ameliorate the little hierarchy problem. In this work, we analyse phenomenological…

We prove that torsion-free G_2 structures are (weakly) dynamically stable along the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures. More precisely, given a torsion-free G_2 structure $\varphi$ on a compact 7-manifold, the Laplacian flow with…

Low-energy excitations associated with the amplitude fluctuation of an order parameter in condensed matter systems can mimic the Higgs boson, an elementary particle in the standard model, and are dubbed as Higgs modes. Identifying the…
