The cotangent bundle $T^*X$ of a smooth intersection $X$ of two quadrics admits a Lagrangian fibration determined by the intrinsic geometry of $X$. We show that this fibration is actually the Hitchin morphism if we endow $X$ with a…

We investigate the special K\"ahler geometry of the base of the Hitchin integrable system in terms of spectral curves and topological recursion. The Taylor expansion of the special K\"ahler metric about any point in the base may be computed…

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 find a compactification of the $\mathrm{SO}_{0}(2,3)$-Hitchin component by studying the degeneration of the induced metric on the unique equivariant maximal surface in the 4-dimensional pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{2,2}$. In the…

Fix a non-stacky component of the moduli of stable Higgs bundles, on which the Hitchin fibration is proper. We show that any smooth Hitchin fiber determines a microsheaf on the global nilpotent cone, that distinct fibers give rise to…

Hitchin in [Duke Math. J. 54 (1), 91-114 (1987)] introduced a proper morphism from the moduli space of stable $G$-Higgs bundles ($G=\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C}),\mathrm{Sp}(2m,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(n,\mathbb{C})$) over a curve to a…

The Hitchin component Hit_n(S) of a closed surface S is a preferred component of the character variety X_PSL_n(R)(S) consisting of homomorphisms from the fundamental group pi_1(S) to the Lie group PSL_n(R)(S), whose elements enjoy…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)$ denote the moduli space of stable parabolic $G$-bundles (where $G$ is a complex orthogonal or symplectic…

Let $X$ be a complex abelian variety. We prove an analogue of both the (cohomological) $P=W$ conjecture and the geometric $P=W$ conjecture connecting the finer topological structure of the Dolbeault moduli space of topologically trivial…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring and let $R$ be a commutative $k-$algebra. The aim of this paper is to define and discuss some connection morphisms between schemes associated to the representation theory of a (non necessarily commutative)…

We give a geometric characterization of flag geometries associated to Hitchin representations in $\text{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})$. Our characterization is based on distinguished invariant foliations, similar to those studied by Guichard-Wienhard…

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 present an infinite-dimensional hyperk\"ahler reduction that extends the classical moment map picture of Fujiki and Donaldson for the scalar curvature of K\"ahler metrics. We base our approach on an explicit construction of hyperk\"ahler…

In the study of automorphic representations over a function field, Hitchin moduli stack and its variants naturally appear and their geometry helps the comparison of trace formulae. We give a survey on applications of this observation to a…

A holomorphic Poisson structure induces a deformation of the complex structure as Hitchin's generalized geometry. Its associated cohomology naturally appears as the limit of a spectral sequence of a double complex. The first sheet of this…

In this paper, we study rational sections of the relative Picard scheme of a linear system on a smooth projective variety. We prove that if the linear system is basepoint-free and the locus of non-integral divisors has codimension at least…

This paper deals with moduli spaces of framed principal bundles with connections with irregular singularities over a compact Riemann surface. These spaces have been constructed by Boalch by means of an infinite-dimensional symplectic…

We introduce and describe the "regular quotient" for the Hitchin fibration for symmetric spaces and explain some basic consequences for Higgs bundles. We include an invariant theoretic approach to spectral covers in this setting for the…

We compute the Fourier transform of some of the summands of the push-forward of the constant sheaf under the Hitchin map for $\mathrm{SL}_n$ restricted to the locus of cyclic spectral curves inside the Hitchin base (for $\mathrm{SL}_2$ all…

We introduce the concept of a Fock bundle, a smooth principal bundle over a surface equipped with a special kind of adjoint-valued 1-form, as a new tool for studying character varieties of surface groups. Although similar to Higgs bundles,…
