We identify the Variational Principle governing inifinity-Harmonic maps, that is solutions to the Infinity-Laplacian. The system was first derived in the limit of the p-Laplacian as p->inifinity in [K2] and is recently studied in [K3]. Here…

We give a differential geometric construction of the holomorphic family of Higgs bundle moduli spaces over a curve C as a fibration over Teichm\"uller space. The method uses a function f defined on the character variety, essentially the…

Let $f\colon S\to B$ a complex fibred surface with fibres of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $u_f$ be its unitary rank, i.e., the rank of the maximal unitary summand of the Hodge bundle $f_*\omega_f$. We prove many new slope inequalities involving…

The signature of a surface bundle over a surface is known to be divisible by 4. It is also known that the signature vanishes if the fiber genus is less than or equal to 2 or the base genus is less than or equal to 1. In this article, we…

The symmetries of surfaces which can be embedded into the symmetries of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ are easier to feel by human's intuition. We give the maximum order of finite group actions on $(\mathbb{R}^3, \Sigma)$…

A spacelike surface $S\subset \mathbb{S}^4_1$ is marginally trapped if its mean curvature vector is lightlike. On any oriented spacelike surface $S \subset \mathbb{S}^4_1$ we show that a choice of orientation of the normal bundle $\nu(S)$…

We consider the moduli space of polystable $L$-twisted $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a real reductive Lie group, and $L$ is a holomorphic line bundle over $X$. Evaluating the Higgs field at a basis of…

We prove that an isometric immersion of a simply connected Riemannian surface M in four-dimensional Minkowski space, with given normal bundle E and given mean curvature vector H \in \Gamma(E), is equivalent to a normalized spinor field…

Given a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g_\Sigma\, \geq\, 2$, and an effective divisor $D\, =\, \sum_i n_i x_i$ on $\Sigma$ with $\text{degree}(D)\, <\, 2(g_\Sigma -1)$, there is a unique cone metric on $\Sigma$ of constant…

We associate to each stable Higgs pair $(A_0,\Phi_0)$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ a singular limiting configuration $(A_\infty,\Phi_\infty)$, assuming that $\det \Phi$ has only simple zeroes. We then prove a desingularization theorem…

Let M be a compact closed non-orientable surface. We show that the space of representations of the fundamental group of M into PSL(2,R) has exactly two connected components. These two components are the preimages of a certain…

We analyze Higgs bundles $(V,\phi)$ on a class of elliptic surfaces $\pi:X\to B$, whose underlying vector bundle $V$ has vertical determinant and is fiberwise semistable. We prove that if the spectral curve of $V$ is reduced, then $\phi$ is…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We study the cocompact domain of discontinuity $\Omega_{\rho}$ in the Einstein universe $\mathrm{Ein}^{p-1,p}$ defined by Guichard-Wienhard and Kapovich-Leeb-Porti for a class of $p$-Anosov…

We show that on any Riemann surface S of genus g>1 any nonsingular even spin bundle defines e-foloation of S. When a surface is hyperelliptic then all leaves of this foliation are finite and almost all of them consists of 2g+2 points.…

Let G be either SU(p,2) with p>=2, Sp(2,R) or SO(p,2) with p>=3. The symmetric spaces associated to these G's are the classical bounded symmetric domains of rank 2, with the exceptions of SO*(8)/U(4) and SO*(10)/U(5). Using the…
