We define the notion of a parahoric group scheme $\mathcal G$ over a smooth projective curve, and formulate four conjectures on the structure of the stack of $\mathcal G$-bundles, which generalize to this case well-known results on…

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…

For a semisimple real Lie group $G$, we study topological properties of moduli spaces of polystable parabolic $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a divisor of finitely many distinct points. For a split real form of a complex…

We generalize the construction of M. Lieblich for the compactification of the moduli stack of $\PGL_r$-bundles on algebraic spaces to the moduli stack of Tanaka-Thomas $\PGL_r$-Higgs bundles on algebraic schemes. The method we use is the…

We give invariants of flat bundles over 4-manifolds generalizing a result by Chaidez, Cotler, and Cui (Alg. \& Geo. Topology '22). We utilize a structure called a Hopf $G$-triplet for $G$ a group, which generalizes the notion of a Hopf…

We construct a universal partial compactification of the relative moduli space of semistable meromorphic Higgs bundles over the stack of stable pointed curves. It parametrizes meromorphic Gieseker Higgs bundles, and is equipped with a flat…

In this paper we give a gauge theoretic construction of the joint moduli space of stable G-Higgs bundles on closed Riemann surfaces, where the Riemann surface structure is allowed to vary in the Teichm\"uller space of the underlying smooth…

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…

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 establish an isomorphism of complex $K$-theory of the moduli space $\check{\mathcal{M}}$ of $``SL_n"$-Higgs bundles of degree $d$ and rank $n$ (in the sense of Hausel--Thaddeus) and twisted complex $K$-theory of the orbifold…

We prove an analog of the Verlinde formula on the moduli space of semistable meromorphic G-Higgs bundles over a smooth curve for a reductive group G whose fundamental group is free. The formula expresses the graded dimension of the space of…

By studying the Higgs bundle equations with the gauge group replaced by the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere we encounter the notion of a folded hyperkaehler 4-manifold and conjecture the existence of a family of such…

We produce an equality between the Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space M of rank two odd degree stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and the Donaldson invariants of the algebraic surface $\Sigma \times P^1$. We…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)$ denote the moduli space of stable parabolic $G$-bundles (where $G$ is a complex orthogonal or symplectic…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group. Let $\mathcal{E}\rightarrow \mathcal{B}$ be a principal $G\times G$-bundle and $X$ be a regular compactification of $G$. We describe the Grothendieck ring of the associated fibre bundle…

We show how quiver representations and their invariant theory natu- rally arise in the study of some moduli spaces parametrizing bundles dened on an algebraic curve, and how they lead to ne results regarding the geometry of these spaces.

We propose and prove the Verlinde formula for the quantization of the Higgs bundle moduli spaces and stacks for any simple and simply-connected group. This generalizes the equivariant Verlinde formula for the case of $SU(n)$ proposed…

Given a vector bundle $F$ on a variety $X$ and $W\subset H^0(F)$ such that the evaluation map $W\otimes \mathcal{O}_X\to F$ is surjective, its kernel $S_{F,W}$ is called generalized syzygy bundle. Under mild assumptions, we construct a…

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…

A hermitian Higgs bundle is a triple $({\mathfrak E},h) = (E,\Phi, h)$, where ${\mathfrak E}=(E,\Phi)$ is a Higgs bundle and $(E,h)$ is a holomorphic hermitian vector bundle. It is well-known that several results on holomorphic vector…
