Ordinarily, quiver varieties are constructed as moduli spaces of quiver representations in the category of vector spaces. It is also natural to consider quiver representations in a richer category, namely that of vector bundles on some…

The Chen-Ng\^o Conjecture predicts that the Hitchin morphism from the moduli stack of $G$-Higgs bundles on a smooth projective variety surjects onto the space of spectral data. The conjecture is known to hold for the group $GL_n$ and any…

We study Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve with complex reductive structure group, describing the (normalization of) its moduli spaces and the associated Hitchin fibration. The case of trivial degree is covered by the work of Thaddeus in…

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 give a geometric characterisation of the topological invariants associated to SO(m,m+1)-Higgs bundles through KO-theory and the Langlands correspondence between orthogonal and symplectic Hitchin systems. By defining the split orthogonal…

In a recent paper \cite{3}, a semi-stable degeneration of moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve has been constructed. In this paper, we show that there is a relative log-symplectic form on this degeneration, whose restriction to the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex curve, $P\subset X$ a reduced effective divisor, and $X^{0}=X\setminus P$. We study logarithmic $V$-twisted Higgs bundles arising from a logarithmic Hecke compactification of a rank-two bundle on…

Let $\pi : X = \mathbb{P}_C(E) \longrightarrow C$ be a ruled surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, with a fixed polarization $L$ on $X$. In this paper, we show that pullback of a (semi)stable Higgs bundle on…

We introduce the moduli space of quasi-parabolic $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and consider a natural involution, studying its fixed point locus when $\Sigma$ is $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^1$ and…

In this paper we consider a canonical compactification of Hitchin's moduli space of stable Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree over a Riemann surface, producing a projective variety by gluing in a divisor at infinity. We give…

We define and parametrise so-called $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$-type fibres of the $\mathsf{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$- and $\mathsf{SO}(2n+1,\mathbb{C})$-Hitchin system. These are (singular) Hitchin fibres, where the spectral curve induces a two-sheeted…

In this paper, we study triples of the form (E, theta, phi) over a compact Riemann Surface, where (E, theta) is a Higgs bundle and phi is a global holomorphic section of the Higgs bundle. Our main result is a description of a birational…

We give a classification of very stable $G$-Higgs bundles in the generically regular Higgs field case for $G$ an arbitrary connected semisimple complex group. This extends the classification for $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb C)$ and fixed point…

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},…

We study the behavior of slope-stability of reflexive twisted sheaves over a normal projective variety $X$ under pullback along a cover. Slope-stability is always preserved if the cover does not factor via a quasi-\'etale cover. Fixing the…

We describe the moduli space of Higgs pairs on an irreducible nodal curve of arithmetic genus one and its geometric structures in terms of the Hitchin map and a flat degeneration of the moduli space of Higgs bundles on an elliptic curve.

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.

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ and let $K$ be its canonical bundle. In this note we show that a stable vector bundle $E$ on $X$ is very stable, i.e. $E$ has no non-zero nilpotent Higgs field, if and only if…

We study torsion-free, rank 2 Higgs sheaves on genus one fibered surfaces, (semi)stable with respect to suitable polarizations in the sense of Friedman and O'Grady. We prove that slope-semistability of a Higgs sheaf on the surface implies…
