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…

We propose a generalisation of the notion of associated bundles to a principal bundle constructed via group action cocycles rather than via mere representations of the structure group. We devise a notion of connection generalising Ehresmann…

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 $X$,…

We prove a Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for extensions of Higgs bundles. The results generalize known results for extensions of holomorphic bundles. Using Simpson's methods, we construct moduli spaces of stable objects. In an appendix…

In this paper, we study Higgs bundles on non-compact Hermitian manifolds. Under some assumptions for the underlying Hermitian manifolds which are not necessarily K\"ahler, we solve the Hermitian-Einstein equation on analytically stable…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex curve, $P\subset X$ a reduced effective divisor, and $X^{0}=X\setminus P$. We study logarithmic $V$-twisted Higgs bundles arising from a logarithmic Hecke compactification of a rank-two bundle on…

The central result of this paper is an identification of the shifted Cartier dual of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{\mathfrak{g}}(C)$ of $\widetilde{G}$-Higgs bundles on $C$ of arbitrary degree (modulo shifts by $Z(\widetilde{G})$) with a…

We take another approach to Hitchin's strategy of computing the cohomology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles by localization with respect to the circle-action. Our computation is done in the dimensional completion of the Grothendieck ring…

We study the $2k$-Hitchin equations introduced by Ward \cite{Ward 2} from the geometric viewpoint of Higgs bundles. After an introduction on Higgs bundles and $2k$-Hitchin's equations, we review some elementary facts on complex geometry and…

We define and study the existence of very stable Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces, how it implies a precise formula for the multiplicity of the very stable components of the global nilpotent cone and its relationship to mirror symmetry.…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple Lie group and $\mathfrak g$ its Lie algebra. In this paper, we study a special class of cyclic Higgs bundles constructed from a $\mathbb Z$-grading $\mathfrak g = \bigoplus_{j=1-m}^{m-1}\mathfrak g_j$ by…

We explore relations between Higgs bundles that result from isogenies between low-dimensional Lie groups, with special attention to the spectral data for the Higgs bundles. We focus on isogenies onto $SO(4,C)$ and $SO(6,C)$ and their split…

A new class of Higgs bundles is introduced in a natural setting. Existence and nonexistence results for Higgs-Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics are proved.

We give a classification of very stable $G$-Higgs bundles in the generically regular Higgs field case for $G$ an arbitrary connected semisimple complex group. This extends the classification for $G=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb C)$ and fixed point…

For G = GL_2, PGL_2 and SL_2 we prove that the perverse filtration associated to the Hitchin map on the cohomology of the moduli space of twisted G-Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface C agrees with the weight filtration on the cohomology of…

The theory of principal bundles makes sense in any infinity-topos, such as that of topological, of smooth, or of otherwise geometric infinity-groupoids/infinity-stacks, and more generally in slices of these. It provides a natural geometric…

Twisted complex $K$-theory can be defined for a space $X$ equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C$^*$-algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of $H^3(X;\Z)$. We…

Given a closed symplectic 4-manifold $(X,\omega)$, we define a twisted version of the Gromov-Taubes invariants for $(X,\omega)$, where the twisting coefficients are induced by the choice of a surface bundle over $X$. Given a fibered…

Let $\varphi\colon X\rightarrow Y$ be a degree two Galois cover of smooth curves over a local field $F$ of odd characteristic. Assuming that $Y$ has good reduction, we describe a semi-stability criterion for the curve $X$, using the data of…

The moduli space of stable vector bundles on a Riemann surface is smooth when the rank and degree are coprime, and is diffeomorphic to the space of unitary connections of central constant curvature. A classic result of Newstead and…
