Inspired by Gaiotto's conformal limit construction for Higgs bundles we define and study a conformal limit construction for Nakajima quiver varieties. We prove that the conformal limit is indeed a limit of a one parameter family of points…
We provide an explicit algebraic construction for the pullback and direct image of parabolic bundles, parabolic Higgs bundles and parabolic connections through maps between Riemann surfaces. We show that these constructions preserve…
We compare the context of Hodge structures with that of vertex algebras of conformal field theory. Vertex algebras appear as the highest weight representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras. A correspondence between Higgs bundles and…
On a compact connected Riemann surface $C$ of genus at least $2$, we construct Lagrangian correspondences between moduli spaces of rank-$n$ Higgs bundles (respectively, holomorphic connections) and the Hilbert schemes of points on $T^\ast…
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…
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 consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…
Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a smooth complex projective simple normal crossing pair of dimension $n\geq 3$ endowed with an everywhere nondegenerate logarithmic conformal tensor. If $K_X+\Delta$ is not nef, then precisely one of the following…
In the moduli space of semistable $\text{SL}(r, \mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles, we show that there exists a sublocus of the upward flow through a polystable $\mathbb{C}^{*}$-fixed point, which is Lagrangian on its intersection with the stable…
This paper gives a construction for all minimal immersions $f$ of the Poincar\'{e} disc into the complex hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{CH}^2$ which are equivariant with respect to an irreducible representation $\rho$ of a hyperbolic surface…
We first describe the action of the fundamental group of a closed surface of variable negative curvature on the oriented geodesics in its universal covering in terms of a naturally-defined flat connection whose holonomy lies in the group of…
This article is based on the methods developed in [AGG]. We construct a complex hyperbolic structure on a trivial disc bundle over a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ (of genus 2) thus solving a long standing problem in complex hyperbolic…
Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $G$ a connected reductive affine algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. We prove the semiprojectivity of the moduli spaces of semistable $G$-Higgs bundles and $G$-bundles…
This thesis contains results relevant for two different classes of conformal field theory. We partly treat rational conformal field theory, but also derive results that aim at a better understanding of logarithmic conformal field theory.…
In this paper we construct a connection on the trivial G-bundle on the projective line for any simple complex algebraic group G, which is regular outside of the points 0 and infinity, has a regular singularity at the point 0, with principal…
Looking at the finite \'etale congruence covers $X(p)$ of a complex algebraic variety $X$ equipped with a variation of integral polarized Hodge structures whose period map is quasi-finite, we show that both the minimal gonality among all…
We study parabolic G-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface with fixed punctures, when G is a real reductive Lie group, and establish a correspondence between these objects and representations of the fundamental group of the punctured…
We consider the moduli space of vector bundles of rank $n$ and degree $ng$ over a fixed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We use the explicit parametrization in terms of the Tyurin data. In the moduli space there is a "non-abelian" Theta…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. We prove the semiprojectivity of the moduli space of semistable symplectic or orthogonal parabolic Higgs bundles over $X$. We show…
This paper provides an introduction to non-abelian Hodge theory and moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on compact Riemann surfaces. We develop the moduli theory of vector bundles and Higgs bundles, establish the main correspondences of…
