We consider the moduli space of polystable $L$-twisted $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a real reductive Lie group, and $L$ is a holomorphic line bundle over $X$. Evaluating the Higgs field at a basis of…

We determine some classes of varieties X - that include the varieties with numerically effective tangent bundle - satisfying the following property: if E is a Higgs bundle such that f*E is semistable for any morphism f from a smooth…

In this paper we study $G$-Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve when the structure group $G$ is a classical complex reductive Lie group. Modifying the notion of family, we define a new moduli problem for the classification of semistable…

Let X be a smooth projective curve over a field of characteristic p>0. We show that the Hitchin morphism, which associates to a Higgs bundle its characteristic polynomial, has a non-trivial deformation over the affine line. This deformation…

We construct a Petersson-Weil type K\"ahler form on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles over a compact K\"ahler manifold. A fiber integral formula for this form is proved, from which it follows that the Petersson-Weil form is the curvature…

The purpose of this work is to describe the (category of) Higgs bundles on a complex scheme X having a given cameral cover X~. We show that this category is a T_{X~}-gerbe, where T_{X~} is a certain sheaf of abelian groups on X, and we…

We briefly review an open conjecture about Higgs bundles that are semistable with after pulling back to any curve, and prove it in the rank 2 case. We also prove a set of inequalities holding for H-nef Higgs bundles that generalize some of…

We shall construct a natural Higgs bundle structure on the complexified K\"ahler cone of a compact K\"ahler manifold, which can be seen as an analogy of the classical Higgs bundle structure associated to a variation of Hodge structure. In…

A twisted Higgs bundle on a K\"ahler manifold $X$ is a pair $(E,\phi)$ consisting of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ and a holomorphic bundle morphism $\phi\colon M\otimes E \to E$ for some holomorphic vector bundle $M$. Such objects were…
