We construct explicit geometric models for moduli spaces of semi-stable strongly parabolic Higgs bundles over the Riemann sphere, in the case of rank two, four marked points, arbitrary degree, and arbitrary weights. The mechanism of…

Let $(X, \omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold and $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold. Suppose $(X, L)$ has a Hamiltonian $S^1$ action with moment map $\mu$. Take an invariant $\omega$-compatible almost complex structure, we consider…

Given a closed surface endowed with a volume form, we equip the space of compatible Riemannian structures with the structure of an infinite-dimensional symplectic manifold. We show that the natural action of the group of volume-preserving…

For any V-twisted Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface X, where V is a holomorphic vector bundle of rank two on X, there are two associated Higgs bundles on X, twisted by line bundles, which are constructed using a Hecke transformation…

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…

We investigate the geometry of holomorphic vector bundles $E$ over a Riemann surface $C$ together with a section of the endomorphism bundle tensored with $K^{1/2}$ -- a square root of the canonical bundle $K$. These parallel to some extent…

We consider the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve. Motivated by mirror symmetry, Hausel and Hitchin showed that over an open of the locus of smooth Hitchin fibers, the duality of Donagi-Pantev intertwines…

In this article, we construct a flat degeneration of the derived moduli stack of Higgs bundles on smooth curves using the stack of expanded degenerations of Jun Li. We show that there is an intrinsic relative log-symplectic form on the…

Let ${\mathcal B}_g(r)$ be the moduli space of triples of the form $(X,\, K^{1/2}_X,\, F)$, where $X$ is a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\, \geq\, 2$, $K^{1/2}_X$ is a theta characteristic on $X$, and $F$ is a…

Let $X$ be a smooth, connected complex projective curve of genus at least $2$. A Higgs coherent system is an augmented bundle $(E,V)$, where $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle, and $V$ is a linear subspace of the spaces of Higgs bundles of…

Let $X$ be a smooth, irreducible, projective algebraic surface, and let $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}[m]_{>0}$ be a polynomial. In this paper, we determine topological and geometric properties of the moduli space of $\alpha$-stable coherent…

We give an overview of the work of Corlette, Donaldson, Hitchin and Simpson leading to the non-abelian Hodge theory correspondence between representations of the fundamental group of a surface and the moduli space of Higgs bundles. We then…

The self-duality equations on a Riemann surface arise as dimensional reduction of self-dual Yang-Mills equations. Hitchin had showed that the moduli space ${\mathcal M}$ of solutions of the self-duality equations on a compact Riemann…

For $S$ a closed surface of genus $g\geq2$, we construct a canonical diffeomorphism from the degree $3$ Fock-Thomas space $\mathcal{T}^3(S)$ of higher complex structures to the $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ Hitchin component. Our construction…

We initiate and develop the theory of complex harmonic maps to holomorphic Riemannian symmetric spaces, which we make use of to study complex analytic aspects of higher Teichm\"uller theory, with a focus on rank $2$ Hitchin components.…

We study the moduli spaces which classify smooth surfaces along with a complex line bundle. There are homological stability and Madsen--Weiss type results for these spaces (mostly due to Cohen and Madsen), and we discuss the cohomological…
