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…

We describe stability conditions for pairs consisting of a coherent sheaf and a homomorphism to a fixed coherent sheaf on a projective variety. The corresponding moduli spaces are constructed for pairs on curves and surfaces. We consider…

We consider principal bundles over homogeneous spaces G/P, where P is a parabolic subgroup of a semisimple and simply connected complex linear algebraic group G. We prove that a holomorphic principal H--bundle, where H is a complex…

In this paper, we prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether space curve of degree $d$ and genus $g \geq 2$ is stable if and only if $(d,g) \not\in \{ (5,2), (6,4) \}$. When $g\leq1$ and the characteristic of the ground field…

In this paper we complete the study of the Lan-Sheng-Zuo conjecture proposed in arXiv:1210.8280 for the curve case. Precisely, we prove that every semistable Higgs bundle is strongly semistable for curves of genus $g\leq 1$, and over any…

In our previous paper "Strata Hasse invariants, Hecke algebras and Galois representations", initially motivated by questions about the Hodge line bundle of a Hodge-type Shimura variety, we singled out a generalization of the notion of {\em…

We point out that any stable generalized complex structure on a sphere bundle over a closed surface of genus at least two must be of constant type.

In this paper we describe a classifying theory for families of simplicial topological groups. If $B$ is a topological space and $G$ is a simplicial topological group, then we can consider the non-abelian cohomology $H(B,G)$ of $B$ with…

Twin Higgs models are economical extensions of the Standard Model that stabilize the electroweak scale. In these theories the Higgs field is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that is protected against radiative corrections up to scales of…

We study harmonic bundles with an additional structure called symplectic structure. We study them for the case of the base manifold is compact and non-compact. For the compact case, we show that a harmonic bundle with a symplectic structure…

A rank $n$ Higgs bundle $(E,\theta)$ is called generically regular nilpotent if $\theta^n=0$ but $\theta^{n-1}\neq 0$. We show that for a generically regular nilpotent Higgs bundle, if it admits a harmonic metric, then its graded Higgs…

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational points over a fixed determinant moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ and degree $d$ over a smooth, projective curve $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$. We prove that a parabolic vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$ on $X$ is (strongly) wobbly, i.e. $\mathcal{E}$ has a non-zero (strongly) parabolic nilpotent Higgs field, if and…

We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…

We partially extend to hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of Kummer type the results that we have proved regarding stable rigid vector bundles on hyperk\"ahler (HK) varieties of type $K3^{[n]}$. Let $(M,h)$ be a general polarized HK fourfold of Kummer…

We prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is semistable if $g=1$ or $g\geq \left \lceil \frac{5r}{2}\right\rceil r(r-1)$, or $d$ is larger than an explicit function…

Let X be a smooth complex projective curve and S a finite subset of X. We show that an orthogonal or symplectic parabolic Higgs bundle on X with parabolic structure over S admits a Hermitian-Einstein connection if and only if it is…

Let (E, \varphi) be a flat Higgs bundle on a compact special affine manifold M equipped with an affine Gauduchon metric. We prove that (E, \varphi) is polystable if and only if it admits an affine Yang-Mills-Higgs metric.

Let $X$ be a projective curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The Frobenius map on X induces a rational map on the moduli space of rank-2 bundles. We show that up to isomorphism, there is only one (up to…

We associate to each stable Higgs pair $(A_0,\Phi_0)$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ a singular limiting configuration $(A_\infty,\Phi_\infty)$, assuming that $\det \Phi$ has only simple zeroes. We then prove a desingularization theorem…
