We consider the moduli space of rank two, odd degree, semi-stable Real vector bundles over a real curve, calculating the singular cohomology ring in odd and zero characteristic for most examples.
We consider the associated production of a scalar resonance with the standard model Higgs boson. We demonstrate via a realistic phenomenological analysis that couplings of such a resonance to the Higgs boson can be constrained in a…
The idea of reduction of couplings provides a systematic procedure to search for relations among seemingly unrelated parameters of a renormalizable theory. As a consequence, such reduced theories exhibit more constrained parameter spaces.…
In this paper, we study Higgs and co-Higgs bundles on non-K\"ahler elliptic surfaces. We show, in particular, that non-trivial stable Higgs bundles only exist when the base of the elliptic fibration has genus at least two and use this…
Abstract. Let G be a complex reductive group and A be an Abelian variety of dimension d over $\mathbb{C}$. We determine the Poincar\'e polynomials and also the mixed Hodge polynomials of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{A}^{H}(G)$ of G-Higgs…
Hitchin pairs on Riemann surfaces are generalizations of Higgs bundles, allowing the Higgs field to be twisted by an arbitrary line bundle. We consider this generalization in the context of $G$-Higgs bundles for a real reductive Lie group…
The moduli space of stable bundles of rank 2 and degree 1 on a Riemann surface has rational cohomology generated by the so-called universal classes. The work of Baranovsky, King-Newstead, Siebert-Tian and Zagier provided a complete set of…
We study the indirect effects of new physics on the phenomenology of the recently discovered "Higgs-like" particle. In a model independent framework these effects can be parametrized in terms of an effective Lagrangian at the electroweak…
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…
We analyze the 2011 LHC Higgs data in the context of simplified new physics models addressing the naturalness problem. These models are expected to contain new particles with sizable couplings to the Higgs boson, which can easily modify the…
In this paper, we study triples of the form (E, theta, phi) over a compact Riemann Surface, where (E, theta) is a Higgs bundle and phi is a global holomorphic section of the Higgs bundle. Our main result is a description of a birational…
We classify rank zero 5d SCFTs geometrically engineered from M-theory on quasi-homogeneous compound Du Val isolated threefold singularities. For all such theories, we characterize the Higgs Branch, by computing the dimension, the continuous…
In this paper we study the moduli space of representations of a surface group (i.e., the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface) in the real symplectic group Sp(2n,R). The moduli space is partitioned by an integer invariant, called…
We give a representation of the extension class associated to a holomorphic fibration by curvature, generalizing the work of Atiyah on holomorphic principal bundles in a natural way. As an application, we obtain a nonlinear analogue of the…
We define the Toledo invariant of a G-Higgs bundle on a Riemann surface, where G is a real semisimple group of Hermitian type, and we prove a Milnor-Wood type bound for this invariant when the bundle is semistable. We prove rigidity results…
Starting from the data of a nonsingular complex projective toric variety, we define an associated notion of toric co-Higgs bundle. We provide a Lie-theoretic classification of these objects by studying the interaction between Klyachko's fan…
Given a closed, oriented surface X of genus g>1, and a semisimple Lie group G, let R_G be the moduli space of reductive representations of the fundamental group of X in G. We determine the number of connected components of R_PGL(n,R), for…
We study the limiting behavior of the solutions $h_t$ of the Hitchin's equation associated with a family of stable SU(1,2) Higgs bundles $(L,F,t\beta,t\gamma)$ on a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ as $t\to\infty$ under the assumption…
Let $k$ be an algebraic closure of finite fields with odd characteristic $p$ and a smooth projective scheme $\mathbf{X}/W(k)$. Let $\mathbf{X}^0$ be its generic fiber and $X$ the closed fiber. For $\mathbf{X}^0$ a curve Faltings conjectured…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the Donaldson-Corlette theorem to the case of vector bundles over cell complexes. We define the notion of a vector bundle and a Higgs bundle over a complex, and describe the associated Betti, de Rham…
