We investigate the Hitchin hyperk\"ahler metric on the moduli space of strongly parabolic $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\C)$-Higgs bundles on the $n$-punctured Riemann sphere and its degeneration obtained by scaling the parabolic weights $t\alpha$ as…

Here we survey several results and conjectures on the cohomology of the total space of the Hitchin system: the moduli space of semi-stable rank n and degree d Higgs bundles on a complex algebraic curve C. The picture emerging is a dynamic…

We construct twisted Calogero-Moser (CM) systems with spins as the Hitchin systems derived from the Higgs bundles over elliptic curves, where transitions operators are defined by an arbitrary finite order automorphisms of the underlying Lie…

This expository paper details the theory of rank one Higgs bundles over a closed Riemann surface X and their relationship to representations of the fundamental group of X. We construct an equivalence between the deformation theories of flat…

While general relativity provides a complete geometric theory of gravity, it fails to explain the other three forces of nature, i.e., electromagnetism and weak and strong interactions. We require the quantum field theory (QFT) to explain…

In this paper we determine the spectral data parametrizing Higgs bundles in a generic fiber of the Hitchin map for the case where the structure group is the special Clifford group with fixed Clifford norm. These are spin and "twisted" spin…

This paper studies novel four-dimensional integrable field theories that are deformations of self-dual Yang-Mills. They are engineered by considering holomorphic Chern-Simons and BF type theories on covers of twistor space obtained by…

We study the geometry of type II supergravity compactifications in terms of an oriented vector bundle $E$, endowed with a bundle metric of split signature and further datum. The geometric structure is associated with a so-called generalised…

We describe twisted configurations of spinor field on the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes that arise due to existence of the twisted spinor bundles over the standard black hole topology. From a physical point of view the…

This article is devoted to the investigation of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Cohomologies of wrap groups…

By bridging geometric and algebraic concepts, this dissertation lays the groundwork for a comprehensive study of the Clifford structures on bundles and spinor fields. We delve into the K\"ahler-Atiyah bundle, which encapsulates the essence…

We define even very stable Higgs bundles and study the Hitchin map restricted to their upward flows. In the GL(n) case we classify the type (1,...,1) examples, and find that they are governed by a root system formed by the roots of even…

Geometric structures on manifolds became popular when Thurston used them in his work on the geometrization conjecture. They were studied by many people and they play an important role in higher Teichm\"uller theory. Geometric structures on…

Using examples of compact complex 3-manifolds which arise as twistor spaces, we show that the class of compact complex manifolds bimeromorphic to K\"ahler manifolds is not stable under small deformations of complex structure.

We show that the torsion of a Cartan geometry can be associated to two spin-2 fields. This structure allows a new approach to deal with the proposal of geometrization of spin-2 fields besides the traditional one dealt with in General…

In the context of holography, we analyse aspects of supersymmetric geometries based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analysing spin$^c$ spinors on a spindle with an azimuthal rotation symmetry we show that under rather…

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…
