This article is based on my lecture notes from summer schools at the Universities of Utah (June 2007) and Warwick (September 2007). We provide an introduction to explicit methods in the study of moduli spaces of quiver representations and…
We prove that the moduli spaces of twisted $\mathrm{SL}_n$ and $\mathrm{PGL}_n$-Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve have the same (stringy) class in the Grothendieck ring of rational Chow motives. On the level of Hodge numbers this…
We introduce the notion of (twisted) quiver representations in abelian categories and study the category of such representations. We construct standard resolutions and coresolutions of quiver representations and study basic homological…
This paper is about geometric quantization of the Hitchin system. We quantize a Kahler form on the Hitchin moduli space (which is half the first Kahler form defined by Hitchin) by considering the Quillen bundle as the prequantum line bundle…
We explore the cohomological structure for the (possibly singular) moduli of $\mathrm{SL}_n$-Higgs bundles for arbitrary degree on a genus g curve with respect to an effective divisor of degree >2g-2. We prove a support theorem for the…
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…
Multiplicative Hitchin systems are analogues of Hitchin's integrable system based on moduli spaces of G-Higgs bundles on a curve C where the Higgs field is group-valued, rather than Lie algebra valued. We discuss the relationship between…
Starting from a collection of line bundles on a projective toric orbifold X, we introduce a stacky analogue of the classical linear series. Our first main result extends work of King by building moduli stacks of refined representations of…
Let $X=\overline{X}-D$ be a smooth quasi-projective curve. In arXiv:2110.12300 we constructed a Deligne-Hitchin modui space with Hecke gauge groupoid for connections of rank $2$. We extend this construction to the case of any rank $r$,…
We take another approach to Hitchin's strategy of computing the cohomology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles by localization with respect to the circle-action. Our computation is done in the dimensional completion of the Grothendieck ring…
A $\mathrm{U}(p,q)$-Higgs bundle on a Riemann surface (twisted by a line bundle) consists of a pair of holomorphic vector bundles, together with a pair of (twisted) maps between them. Their moduli spaces depend on a real parameter $\alpha$.…
We study polystable Higgs bundles twisted by a line bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold. These form a Tannakian category when the first and second Chern classes of the bundle are zero. In this paper we identify the corresponding Tannaka…
We show the smoothness over the affine line of the Hodge moduli space of logarithmic t-connections of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve with geometrically integral fibers over an arbitrary Noetherian base. When the base…
Given a smooth complex projective variety $M$ and a smooth closed curve $X \subset M$ such that the homomorphism of fundamental groups $\pi_1(X) \rightarrow \pi_1(M)$ is surjective, we study the restriction map of Higgs bundles, namely from…
The moduli space of stable Higgs bundles of degree $0$ is equipped with the hyperk\"ahler metric, called the Hitchin metric. On the locus where the spectral curves are smooth, there is the hyperk\"ahler metric called the semi-flat metric,…
In this paper, we derive a maximum principle for a type of elliptic systems and apply it to analyze the Hitchin equation for cyclic Higgs bundles. We show several domination results on the pullback metric of the (possibly branched) minimal…
The cherry on top of this stacky paper is the following: for any g>1 we give a finite group G such that the moduli space of connected admissible G-covers of genus g is a smooth, fine moduli space, which is a Galois cover of the moduli space…
A principal Higgs bundle $(P,\phi)$ over a singular curve $X$ is a pair consisting of a principal bundle $P$ and a morphism $\phi:X\to\text{Ad}P \otimes \Omega^1_X$. We construct the moduli space of principal Higgs G-bundles over an…
For a complex reductive group $G$, we consider the locus $M^d$ in the moduli stack of $G$-Higgs bundles on which the centraliser dimension of the Higgs field takes a constant value $d> rk(G)$. We describe a non-abelian structure for the…
Let $G$ be a complex semisimple Lie group and $\mathfrak g$ its Lie algebra. In this paper, we study a special class of cyclic Higgs bundles constructed from a $\mathbb Z$-grading $\mathfrak g = \bigoplus_{j=1-m}^{m-1}\mathfrak g_j$ by…
