A flat connection on a Riemann surface with values in an infinite dimensional Lie algebra provides a systematic and effective tool for generating an infinite family of polylogarithms via iterated integrals. The recent literature offers…

In this work, we relate two recent constructions that generalize classical (genus-zero) polylogarithms to higher-genus Riemann surfaces. A flat connection valued in a freely generated Lie algebra on a punctured Riemann surface of arbitrary…

A recent construction of polylogarithms on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus in arXiv:2306.08644 is based on a flat connection assembled from single-valued non-holomorphic integration kernels that depend on two points on the Riemann…

The main goal of this article is to construct some geometric invariants for the topology of the set $\mathcal{F}$ of flat connections on a principal $G$-bundle $P\,\longrightarrow\, M$. Although the characteristic classes of principal…

We establish that Hitchin's connection exist for any rigid holomorphic family of Kahler structures on any compact pre-quantizable symplectic manifold which satisfies certain simple topological constraints. Using Toeplitz operators we prove…

In this paper, we apply the theory of Chern-Cheeger-Simons to construct canonical invariants associated to a $r$-simplex whose points parametrize flat connections on a smooth manifold $X$. These invariants lie in degrees…

We prove that holomorphic normal projective connections on compact complex surfaces are flat. We show that a holomorphic torsion-free affine connection $\nabla$ on a compact complex surface is locally modelled on a translations-invariant…

The moduli space ${\mathcal{M}}_{g}$, of genus $g\geq2$ closed Riemann surfaces, is a complex orbifold of dimension $3(g-1)$ which carries a natural real structure i.e. it admits an anti-holomorphic involution $\sigma$. The involution…

It is known that every nonorientable surface $\Sigma$ has an orientable double cover $\tilde{\Sigma}$. The covering map induces an involution on the moduli space $\tilde{\M}$ of gauge equivalence classes of flat $G$-connections on…

An explicit construction is presented of homotopy-invariant iterated integrals on a Riemann surface of arbitrary genus in terms of a flat connection valued in a freely generated Lie algebra. The integration kernels consist of modular…

Let $(\mathcal{L},\mathfrak{g})$ be a line bundle over a closed Riemann surface $(\Sigma,g)$, $\Gamma(\mathcal{L})$ be the set of all smooth sections, and $\mathcal{D}:\Gamma(\mathcal{L})\rightarrow T^\ast\Sigma\otimes \Gamma(\mathcal{L})$…

First we survey and explain the strategy of some recent results that construct holomorphic $\text{sl}(2, \mathbb C)$-differential systems over some Riemann surfaces $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g\geq 2$, satisfying the condition that the image of…

Let $E_G$ be a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle on a compact connected Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group. Fix a finite subset $D \subset X$, and for each $x\in D$ fix $w_x \in…

We construct smooth Riemannian metrics with constant scalar curvature on each Hirzebruch surface. These metrics respect the complex structures, fiber bundle structures, and Lie group actions of cohomogeneity one on these manifolds. Our…

We show that in special K\"ahler geometry of $N=2$ space-time supergravity the gauge variant part of the connection is holomorphic and flat (in a Riemannian sense). A set of differential identities (Picard-Fuchs identities) are satisfied on…

Hom-connections and associated integral forms have been introduced and studied by T.Brzezi\'nski as an adjoint version of the usual notion of a connection in non-commutative geometry. Given a flat hom-connection on a differential calculus…

An involutive diffeomorphism $\sigma$ of a connected smooth manifold $M$ is called dissecting if the complement of its fixed point set is not connected. Dissecting involutions on a complete Riemannian manifold are closely related to…

A new construction of a universal connection was given in \cite{BHS}. The main aim here is to explain this construction. A theorem of Atiyah and Weil says that a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact Riemann surface admits a…

Let $G$ be a simply connected solvable Lie group with a lattice $\Gamma$ and the Lie algebra $\g$ and a representation $\rho:G\to GL(V_{\rho})$ whose restriction on the nilradical is unipotent. Consider the flat bundle $E_{\rho}$ given by…

We construct an irreducible holomorphic connection with SL(2,R)-monodromy on the trivial holomorphic vector bundle of rank two over a compact Riemann surface. This answers a question of Calsamiglia, Deroin, Heu and Loray in \cite{CDHL}.
