I consider principal Higgs bundles satisfying a notion of numerical flatness (H-nflatness) that was introduced by Bruzzo and Gra\~na Otero. I prove that a principal Higgs bundle $\mathfrak{E}=(E,\varphi)$ is H-nflat is either stable or…

Let $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{P}_k^d$ be Drinfeld's halfspace over a finite field $k$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a homogeneous vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}_k^d$. The paper deals with two different descriptions of the space of global…

On a generalized complex manifold there is an associated definition of a generalized holomorphic bundle, introduced by Gualtieri. This notion in the case of an ordinary complex structure yields an object which we call a co-Higgs bundle and…

Hitchin in [Duke Math. J. 54 (1), 91-114 (1987)] introduced a proper morphism from the moduli space of stable $G$-Higgs bundles ($G=\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C}),\mathrm{Sp}(2m,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(n,\mathbb{C})$) over a curve to a…

We study anti-holomorphic involutions of the moduli space of principal $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group. These involutions are defined by fixing anti-holomorphic involutions…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. Let $(E,\theta)$ be a stable Higgs bundle of degree $0$ on $X$. Let $h_{\det(E)}$ denote a flat metric of the determinant bundle $\det(E)$. For any $t>0$, there exists a unique harmonic metric $h_t$ of…

After providing a suitable definition of numerical effectiveness for Higgs bundles, and a related notion of numerical flatness, in this paper we prove, together with some side results, that all Chern classes of a Higgs-numerically flat…

Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings. We study the variety of unitary representations of the fundamental group of U with certain restrictions related to the divisor. We show that…

Let G be a compact Lie group, and consider the variety Hom(Z^k,G) of representations of Z^k into G. We view this as a based space by designating the trivial representation to be its base point. We prove that the fundamental group of this…

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…

In 1985 Diederich and Ohsawa proved that every disc bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold is weakly 1-complete. In this paper, under certain conditions we generalize this result to the case of fiber bundles over compact K\"ahler manifolds…

We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{M}(G)$ of $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group. This is a hyperk\"ahler manifold homeomorphic to the moduli space $\mathcal{R}(G)$ of…

For any integers $p\geq 2$ and $q\geq 1$, let $\mathbb{H}^{p,q}$ be the pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic space of signature $(p,q)$. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is the fundamental group of a closed aspherical $p$-manifold, then the set of…
