We study the algebraic geometry of twisted Higgs bundles of cyclic type along complex curves. These objects, which generalize ordinary cyclic Higgs bundles, can be identified with representations of a cyclic quiver in a twisted category of…

We prove a closed formula counting semistable twisted (or meromorphic) Higgs bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve of genus g, defined over a finite field, when the degree of the twisting line bundle is at least…

Let $X$ be a proper smooth rigid analytic variety over a complete algebraically closed field $p$-adic field $\mathbf C$. Fix an continuation $\mathrm{Exp}$. Faltings (in the curve case) and Heuer showed that any lifting $\widetilde X$ of…

Using the $L^2$ norm of the Higgs field as a Morse function, we study the moduli spaces of $U(p,q)$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface. We require that the genus of the surface be at least two, but place no constraints on $(p,q)$. A key…

The character varieties of representations of a surface group into the Lie groups SL(m,H), SO(2m,H) and Sp(m,m) have a holomorphic description in terms of the moduli space of Higgs bundles. We show that the fibres of the integrable system…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, there is an equivalence of categories between the completely reducible flat vector bundles on $X$ and the polystable Higgs bundles $(E,\, \theta)$ on $X$ with $c_1(E)= 0= c_2(E)$ \cite{SimC},…

This paper studies the gradient flow lines for the $L^2$ norm square of the Higgs field defined on the moduli space of semistable rank $2$ Higgs bundles twisted by a line bundle of positive degree over a compact Riemann surface $X$. The…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb C$. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle $(\calE\, ,\theta)$ on $X$ admits an Einstein--Hermitian connection if and only if $(\calE\, ,\theta)$ is polystable. A similar result for…

Let $S$ be an irreducible smooth projective surface defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. For a positive integer $d$, let ${\rm Hilb}^d(S)$ be the Hilbert scheme parametrizing the zero-dimensional subschemes of $S$ of length $d$.…

After providing a suitable definition of numerical effectiveness for Higgs bundles, and a related notion of numerical flatness, in this paper we prove, together with some side results, that all Chern classes of a Higgs-numerically flat…

We study Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of non-singular curves in positive characteristic. We analyse the relationship between the Frobenius semistability of the kernel sheaf associated with the curve and its ample line bundle, and the HK…

In this article, we explore Higgs bundles on a projective manifold $X$, focusing on their spectral bases, a concept introduced by T.Chen and B.Ng\^{o}. The spectral base is a specific closed subscheme within the space of symmetric…

Let $\pi: X \longrightarrow C$ be a fibration with reduced fibers over a curve $C$ and consider a polarization $H$ on the surface $X$. Let $E$ be a stable vector bundle of rank $2$ on $C$. We prove that the pullback $\pi^*E$ is a $H-$stable…

In this paper we study Higgs and co-Higgs $G$-bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$. Our main results are: (1) If $X$ is Calabi-Yau, and $(E,\,\theta)$ is a semistable Higgs or co-Higgs $G$-bundle on $X$, then the principal $G$-bundle…

Given a vector bundle $E$ on a complex reduced curve $C$ and a subspace $V$ of $H^0(E)$ which generates $E$, one can consider the kernel of the evaluation map $ev_V:V\otimes \mathcal{O}_C\to E$, i.e. the {\it kernel bundle } $M_{E,V}$…

We study the splitting properties of the Verlinde bundles over elliptic curves. Our methods rely on the explicit description of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on elliptic curves, and on the analysis of the symmetric powers of…

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…

Let $M\stackrel\pi \arrow X$ be a principal elliptic fibration over a Kaehler base $X$. We assume that the Kaehler form on $X$ is lifted to an exact form on $M$ (such fibrations are called positive). Examples of these are regular Vaisman…
