In this paper we study the geometry of the moduli space of (non-strongly) parabolic Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with marked points. We show that this space possesses a Poisson structure, extending the one on the dual of an Atiyah…

We present a systematic study of involutions on the moduli space of $G$-Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve $X$, where $G$ is complex reductive affine algebraic group. The fixed point loci in the moduli space of $G$-Higgs bundles on $X$,…

In this paper, we study an equation which we call the basic Hitchin equation. This is an equation defined on Sasakian threefolds and is a three-dimensional analog of the Hitchin equation, which is defined on Riemann surfaces. We construct…

We derive conjectures, called genus 1 Enumerative mirror symmetry for moduli spaces of Higgs bundles, which relate curve-counting invariants of moduli spaces of Higgs $\mathrm{SL}_r$-bundles to curve-counting invariants of moduli spaces of…

We study Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve with complex reductive structure group, describing the (normalization of) its moduli spaces and the associated Hitchin fibration. The case of trivial degree is covered by the work of Thaddeus in…

Here we survey several results and conjectures on the cohomology of the total space of the Hitchin system: the moduli space of semi-stable rank n and degree d Higgs bundles on a complex algebraic curve C. The picture emerging is a dynamic…

A holomorphic triple over a compact Riemann surface consists of two holomorphic vector bundles and a holomorphic map between them. After fixing the topological types of the bundles and a real parameter, there exist moduli spaces of stable…

For any almost-simple group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero, we describe the automorphism group of the moduli space of semistable $G$-bundles over a connected smooth projective curve $C$ of genus at least…

We study the summands of the decomposition theorem for the Hitchin system for $\mathrm{GL}_n$, in arbitrary degree, over the locus of reduced spectral curves. A key ingredient is a new correspondence between these summands and the topology…

The present note is mostly a survey on the generalised Hitchin integrable system and moduli spaces of meromorphic Higgs bundles. We also fill minor gaps in the existing literature, outline a calculation of the infinitesimal period map and…

We show that the moduli space of simple flat bundles over a compact Sasakian manifold is a finite disjoint union of moduli spaces of simple flat bundles with fixed basic structures. This gives a detailed description of the non-abelian Hodge…

We place the representation variety in the broader context of abelian and nonabelian cohomology. We outline the equivalent constructions of the moduli spaces of flat bundles, of smooth integrable connections, and of holomorphic integrable…

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 $X$ 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…

We develop some useful techinques for integrating over Higgs branches in supersymmetric theories with 4 and 8 supercharges. In particular, we define a regularized volume for hyperkahler quotients. We evaluate this volume for certain ALE and…

The moduli space of stable bundles of rank 2 and degree 1 on a Riemann surface has rational cohomology generated by the so-called universal classes. The work of Baranovsky, King-Newstead, Siebert-Tian and Zagier provided a complete set of…

We give a complete description of the two-dimensional moduli spaces of stable Higgs bundles of rank 2 over complex projective line with one irregular singular point, having a regular leading-order term, and endowed with a generic compatible…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, that is, not $\mathbb C$ or $\mathbb C^*$. Given a tuple of holomorphic differentials $\boldsymbol q=(q_2,\cdots,q_n)$ on $X$, one can define a Higgs bundle…

Using the Morse-theoretic methods introduced by Hitchin, we prove that the moduli space of $\SO_0(1,n)$-Higgs bundles when $n$ is odd has two connected components.

Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group, and $H^{\mathbb{C}}$ the complexification of its maximal compact subgroup $H\subset G$. We consider classes of semistable $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\geq2$ whose underlying…
