We extend the dimension and strong linearity results of generic vanishing theory to bundles of holomorphic forms and rank one local systems, and more generally to certain coherent sheaves of Hodge-theoretic origin associated to irregular…

We study the hypersymplectic geometry of the moduli space of solutions to Hitchin's harmonic map equations on a $G$-bundle. This is the split-signature analogue of Hitchin's Higgs bundle moduli space. Due to the lack of definiteness, this…

The topology of the smooth moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles over a Riemann surface of genus 3 is related to that of the real Grassmannian Gr_4(R^8).

In this article, we derive estimates of Teichm\"uller modular forms, and associated invariants. Let $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ denote the moduli space of compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$, and let $\overline{M}_{g}$ be the…

We show the existence of a symplectic structure on the moduli space of the Seiberg-Witten equations on $\Sigma \times \Sigma$ where $\Sigma$ is a compact oriented Riemann surface. To prequantize the moduli space, we construct a Quillen-type…

A new compactification for the scheme of moduli for Gieseker-stable vector bundles with prescribed Hilbert polynomial, on the smooth projective polarized surface (S,L), is constructed. Families of locally free sheaves on the surface S are…

We prove an analogue of the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for compact, oriented, taut Riemannian foliated manifolds with transverse Hermitian structure. In particular, our Hitchin-Kobayashi theorem holds on any compact Sasakian manifold.…

We present a method for compactifying stacks of $\PGL_n$-torsors (Azumaya algebras) on algebraic spaces. In particular, when the ambient space is a smooth projective surface we use our methods to show that various moduli spaces are…

We carry an intrinsic approach to the study of the connectedness of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_G$ of $G$-Higgs bundles, over a compact Riemann surface, when $G$ is a complex reductive (not necessarily connected) Lie group. We prove that…

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold, $K$ a compact Lie group and $p:P\to M$ a principal $K$-bundle over $M$ endowed with a connection $A$. Fixing a bi invariant inner product on Lie algebra $\mathfrak{k}$ of $K$, the connection $A$…

Given a symplectic (respectively, orthogonal) parabolic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface, we prove that its pullback and direct image through a map between compact Riemann surfaces inherit a natural symplectic (respectively,…

We develop a theory of stable bundles and affine Hermitian-Einstein metrics for flat vector bundles over a special affine manifold (a manifold admitting an atlas whose gluing maps are all locally constant volume-preserving affine maps). Our…

Let L->M be a Hermitian line bundle over a compact manifold. Write S for the space of all unitary connections in L whose curvatures define symplectic forms on M and G for the group of unitary bundle isometries of L, which acts on S by…

In this paper, we study the algebraic symplectic geometry of the singular moduli spaces of Higgs bundles of degree $0$ and rank $n$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$. In particular, we prove that such moduli spaces are…

Given a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ equipped with an antiholomorphic involution $\tau$, we consider the projective structures on $X$ satisfying a compatibility condition with respect to $\tau$. For a projective structure $P$ on…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

We construct a pair (E ,F), where E is a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface and F a holomorphic subbundle of E, such that both F and E/F admit holomorphic connections, but E does not.

We build compact moduli spaces of Grassmannian framed bundles over a Riemann surface, essentially replacing a group by its bi-invariant compactification. We do this both in the algebraic and symplectic settings, and prove a…

We prove a gluing theorem for solutions of Hitchin's self-duality equations with logarithmic singularities on a rank-2 vector bundle over a noded Riemann surface representing a boundary point of Teichm\"uller moduli space.

A result of Andr\'e Weil allows one to describe rank $n$ vector bundles on a smooth complete algebraic curve up to isomorphism via a double quotient of the set $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A})$ of regular matrices over the ring of ad\`eles (over…
