A co-Higgs sheaf is a pair of a torsion-free coherent sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ and a global section of $\mathcal{E}nd(\mathcal{E})\otimes T_X$ with $T_X$ the tangent bundle. We construct $2$-nilpotent co-Higgs sheaves of rank two for some…

We briefly review an open conjecture about Higgs bundles that are semistable with after pulling back to any curve, and prove it in the rank 2 case. We also prove a set of inequalities holding for H-nef Higgs bundles that generalize some of…

Let $(\mathcal{E}, \phi)$ be a rank two co-Higgs vector bundles on a K\"ahler compact surface $X$ with $\phi\in H^0(X,End(\mathcal{E})\otimes T_X)$ nilpotent. If $(\mathcal{E}, \phi)$ is semi-stable, then one of the following holds up to…

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…

We consider smooth moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus at least $3$. The choice of a Poincar\'e bundle for such a moduli space $M$ induces an isomorphism between…

According to Miyaoka, a vector bundle E on a smooth projective curve is semistable if and only if a certain numerical class in the projectivized bundle PE is nef. We establish a similar criterion for the semistability of Higgs bundles:…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$. We prove that any rank $3$ nilpotent semistable Higgs bundle $(E,\theta)$ on $X$ is a strongly semistable Higgs bundle. This…

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…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and $\O_X(H)$ be a very ample line bundle on $X$. We show that for a semistable $X$-bundle $E$ of rank two, there exists an integer $m$…

We give a formula comparing the E-series of the moduli stacks of rank 2 degree 0 semistable Higgs bundles in genus $g \geq 2$ to intersection E-polynomials of its coarse moduli space. A parellel formula holds in various 2-Calabi-Yau…

We study various aspects on nontrivial logarithmic co-Higgs structure associated to unstable bundles on algebraic curves. We check several criteria for (non-)existence of nontrivial logarithmic co-Higgs structures and describe their…

On a complex manifold, a co-Higgs bundle is a holomorphic vector bundle with an endomorphism twisted by the tangent bundle. The notion of generalized holomorphic bundle in Hitchin's generalized geometry coincides with that of co-Higgs…

Co-Higgs bundles are Higgs bundles in the sense of Simpson, but with Higgs fields that take values in the tangent bundle instead of the cotangent bundle. Given a vector bundle on P^1, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on its…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. Let $X$ be a polarized irreducible smooth projective algebraic variety over $k$. We give criterion for semistability and stability of system of Hodge bundles on $X$. We define…

We determine some classes of varieties X - that include the varieties with numerically effective tangent bundle - satisfying the following property: if E is a Higgs bundle such that f*E is semistable for any morphism f from a smooth…

We study the basic properties of Higgs sheaves over compact K\"ahler manifolds and we establish some results concerning the notion of semistability; in particular, we show that any extension of semistable Higgs sheaves with equal slopes is…

In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…

We consider all complex projective manifolds X that satisfy at least one of the following three conditions: 1. There exists a pair $(C ,\varphi)$, where $C$ is a compact connected Riemann surface and $\varphi : C\to X$ a holomorphic map,…

We study Miyaoka-type semistability criteria for principal Higgs G-bundles E on complex projective manifolds of any dimension. We prove that E has the property of being semistable after pullback to any projective curve if and only if…

We consider the space of nilpotent Higgs bundles on a weighted projective line, as a global analog of the nilpotent cone. We show that it is pure, compute its dimension, and define geometric correspondences between irreducible components.…
