We identify dglas that control infinitesimal deformations of the pairs (manifold, Higgs bundle) and of Hitchin pairs. As a consequence, we recover known descriptions of first order deformations and we refine known results on obstructions.…
After the Higgs boson discovery in 2012, the experiments at the LHC are continuing to study this particle and look for physics beyond the standard model. Some of the Higgs boson properties, such as the mass, has been measured with…
An electron-positron collider designed for precision studies of the Higgs boson, a so-called Higgs factory is the highest-priority next collider of the particle physics community. This contribution summarises the key physics goals of such a…
We summarize the main results of our recent investigation of bundles of real Clifford modules and briefly touch on some applications to string theory and supergravity.
In this note we study some analytic properties of the linearized self-duality equations on a family of smooth Riemann surfaces $\Sigma_R$ converging for $R\searrow0$ to a surface $\Sigma_0$ with a finite number of nodes. It is shown that…
In this article we give an explicit description of the Hitchin fiber of SU(1,2) Higgs bundles $(L,F,\gamma,\beta)$ over a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $\ge 2$ with $q=\gamma\circ\beta$ having simple zeros and Toledo invariant…
We comment on different results from three recent effective potential calculations of the Higgs mass lower bound.
In this paper, using Donaldson's heat flow, we show that the semi-stability of a Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold implies the existence of approximate Hermitian-Einstein structure on the Higgs bundle.
In this talk, I will discuss possible new physics effects that modify the interaction of Higgs boson(s) with top and bottom quarks, and discuss how to detect such effects in current and future high energy colliders.
Recent progress in the study of fission barriers of actinides and superheavy nuclei within covariant density functional theory is overviewed.
We develop some useful techinques for integrating over Higgs branches in supersymmetric theories with 4 and 8 supercharges. In particular, we define a regularized volume for hyperkahler quotients. We evaluate this volume for certain ALE and…
In this paper we construct the Poincare line bundle for the stack of Higgs bundles on smooth projective curves and show that it induces a fully-faithful Fourier-Mukai transform on the category of quasi-coherent sheaves.
We generalize the classical theory of Higgs bundles, spectral curves and Norm maps to Deligne-Mumford curves. As an application, under some mild conditions, we prove the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow duality for the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles…
We review some applications of entanglement to improve quantum measurements and communication, with the main focus on the optical implementation of quantum information processing. The evolution of continuos variable entangled states in…
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…
We consider Higgs bundles satisfying a notion of numerical flatness (H-nflatness) that was previously introduced, and show that they have Jordan-H\"older filtrations whose quotients are stable, locally free and H-nflat. This is applied to…
Discovered in 2012, the Higgs boson has opened a new window on nature. The latest searches for its rare and non-Standard Model decays with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. They represent a promising probe of the 1st and 2nd…
The observation of a SM-like Higgs boson in multiple channels at the LHC allows the extraction of Higgs couplings to gauge bosons and fermions. The precision achievable at the LHC, for an integrated luminosity of 200 fb^{-1}, is reviewed…

Gauge/gravity dualities provide a very useful approach into solving strongly coupled systems. We apply this to Composite Higgs models and determine the mass hierarchies of the corresponding bound states. As a cross check we apply this to…
