We give a formula comparing the E-series of the moduli stacks of rank 2 degree 0 semistable Higgs bundles in genus $g \geq 2$ to intersection E-polynomials of its coarse moduli space. A parellel formula holds in various 2-Calabi-Yau…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $2$. Following a method by O' Grady, we construct a semismall desingularization $\tilde{\mathcal{M}}_{Dol}^G$ of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{Dol}^G$ of semistable $G$-Higgs bundles of degree…
The moduli space of stable vector bundles on a Riemann surface is smooth when the rank and degree are coprime, and is diffeomorphic to the space of unitary connections of central constant curvature. A classic result of Newstead and…
Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface and $D$ an effective divisor on $X$. Let ${\mathcal N}_H(r,d)$ denote the moduli space of $D$-twisted stable Higgs bundles (a special class of Hitchin pairs) on $X$ of rank $r$ and degree $d$.…
We prove formulas for the rational Chow motives of moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles and Higgs bundles of rank 3 and coprime degree on a smooth projective curve. Our approach involves identifying criteria to lift identities in (a…
The moduli space of stable bundles of rank 2 and degree 1 on a Riemann surface has rational cohomology generated by the so-called universal classes. The work of Baranovsky, King-Newstead, Siebert-Tian and Zagier provided a complete set of…
We establish a compact analog of the P = W conjecture. For a holomorphic symplectic variety with a Lagrangian fibration, we show that the perverse numbers associated with the fibration match perfectly with the Hodge numbers of the total…
A $\mathrm{U}(p,q)$-Higgs bundle on a Riemann surface (twisted by a line bundle) consists of a pair of holomorphic vector bundles, together with a pair of (twisted) maps between them. Their moduli spaces depend on a real parameter $\alpha$.…
Given an $n$-tuple of positive real numbers $\alpha$ we consider the hyperpolygon space $X(\alpha)$, the hyperk\"{a}hler quotient analogue to the K\"ahler moduli space of polygons in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove the existence of an isomorphism…
We start with a curve over an algebraically closed ground field of positive characteristic $p>0$. By using specialization techniques, under suitable natural coprimality conditions, we prove a cohomological Simpson Correspondence between the…
Abstract. Let G be a complex reductive group and A be an Abelian variety of dimension d over $\mathbb{C}$. We determine the Poincar\'e polynomials and also the mixed Hodge polynomials of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{A}^{H}(G)$ of G-Higgs…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $D\subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\xi$ be a line bundle of degree $d$ over $X$. Let $\mathcal{M}(\alpha, r, \xi)$ (respectively, $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{conn}}(\alpha, r,…
We calculate the characteristic classes for flat SL(n,R) and Sp(2m,R)-bundles over a compact surface as functions of the spectral data in the Higgs bundle description, which consists of the points of order 2 in an abelian variety. Using…
Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over the complex numbers. A pair (E,\phi) over X consists of an algebraic vector bundle E over X and a holomorphic section \phi of E. There is a concept of stability for pairs which…

Building on our previous joint work with A. Schmitt [7] we explain a recursive algorithm to determine the cohomology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on any given curve (in the coprime situation). As an application of the method we compute…
We find new examples of the $P=W$ identity of de Cataldo-Hausel-Migliorini by studying cluster varieties. We prove that the weight filtration of 2D cluster varieties correspond to the perverse filtration of elliptic fibrations which are…
Let $k $ be the algebraic closure of a finite field of odd characteristic $p$ and $X$ a smooth projective scheme over the Witt ring $W(k)$ which is geometrically connected in characteristic zero. We introduce the notion of Higgs-de Rham…
We study a set $\mathcal{M}_{K,N}$ parameterizing filtered $SL(K)$-Higgs bundles over $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with an irregular singularity at $z = \infty$, such that the eigenvalues of the Higgs field grow like $\lvert \lambda \rvert \sim \lvert z…
We look at rank two parabolic Higgs bundles over the projective line minus five points which are semistable with respect to a weight vector $\mu\in[0,1]^5$. The moduli space corresponding to the central weight $\mu_c=(\frac{1}{2}, \dots,…
