We present a new duality between the F-terms of supersymmetric field theories defined in two- and four-dimensions respectively. The duality relates N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions, deformed by an Omega-background in one…

This short note is devoted to the study of $G$-Higgs bundles twisted by a central gerbe. These objects arise naturally in the decomposition of the inertia stacks of $G$-Higgs bundles in terms of coendoscopic data. We establish that…

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…

Several representations of geometric shapes involve quotients of mapping spaces. The projection onto the quotient space defines two sub-bundles of the tangent bundle, called the horizontal and vertical bundle. We investigate in these notes…

We prove a closed formula counting semistable twisted Higgs bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve defined over a finite field. We also prove a formula for the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the moduli spaces of…

Several studies have exploited the integrable structure of central spin models to deepen understanding of these fundamental systems. In recent years, an underlying supersymmetry for systems with XX interactions has been uncovered. Here we…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$ with $\mathrm{deg}\,L>0$. Let $\mathbf{M}$ be the moduli space of semistable rank 2 $L$-twisted Higgs bundles with trivial determinant on $X$. Let…

We show that for any ample line bundle on a smooth complex projective variety with nonnegative Kodaira dimension, the semistability of co-Higgs bundles of implies the semistability of bundles. Then we investigate the criterion for surface…

We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…

In this note we study the image of $\PP^2$ in $\text{Gr}(2, \CC^{4})$ given by tangent bundle of $\PP^2. $ We show that there is component $\mathcal{H}$ of the Hibert scheme of surfaces in $\text{Gr}(2, \CC^{4})$ with no point of it…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and $\Gamma$ a finite subgroup of automorphisms of $G$. Fix also a possibly ramified $\Gamma$-covering $\widetilde{X} \to X$. In this setting one may define the notion of $(\Gamma,G)$-bundles over…

This thesis reviews the theory of bundle gerbes and then examines the higher dimensional notion of a bundle 2-gerbe. The notion of a bundle 2-gerbe connection and 2-curving are introduced and it is shown that there is a class in…

We study the algebraic geometry of twisted Higgs bundles of cyclic type along complex curves. These objects, which generalize ordinary cyclic Higgs bundles, can be identified with representations of a cyclic quiver in a twisted category of…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

We define even very stable Higgs bundles and study the Hitchin map restricted to their upward flows. In the GL(n) case we classify the type (1,...,1) examples, and find that they are governed by a root system formed by the roots of even…

The Hodge Conjecture is equivalent to a statement about conditions under which a complex vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety admits a holomorphic structure. I advertise a class of abelian four-folds due to Mumford where…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

We introduce the moduli space of quasi-parabolic $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and consider a natural involution, studying its fixed point locus when $\Sigma$ is $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^1$ and…

We consider the moduli space of stable parabolic Higgs bundles of rank $r$ and fixed determinant, and having full flag quasi-parabolic structures over an arbitrary parabolic divisor on a smooth complex projective curve $X$ of genus $g$,…

The paper generalizes a result of Behrend-Fantechi and Baranovsky-Ginzburg to the 1-shifted cotangent bundle $T^*X[1]$ of a smooth scheme $X$ over the field of complex numbers. We show how one can obtain twisted cotangent bundles as derived…
