A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…

Given a Hermitian line bundle $L\to M$ over a closed, oriented Riemannian manifold $M$, we study the asymptotic behavior, as $\epsilon\to 0$, of couples $(u_\epsilon,\nabla_\epsilon)$ critical for the rescalings \begin{align*}…

We study horizontal deformations of a Higgs bundle whose spectral curve is smooth. It allows us to define a natural integrable connection of the Hitchin fibration on the locus where the spectral curves are smooth. Then, in the non-zero…

Let $(E,\Phi)\rightarrow (X,\omega_X)$ be a Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold. We suppose that the holomorphic vector bundle $E$ decomposes into a direct sum of holomorphic line bundles. In this paper, we give the necessary and…

We classify all the $6$-dimensional unimodular Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ admitting a complex structure with non-zero closed $(3,0)$-form. This gives rise to $6$-dimensional compact homogeneous spaces $M=\Gamma\backslash G$, where $\Gamma$…

Using Hitchin's parameterization of the Hitchin-Teichm\"uller component of the $SL(n,\mathbb{R})$ representation variety, we study the asymptotics of certain families of representations. In fact, for certain Higgs bundles in the…

We investigate the space of Hermitian metrics on a fixed complex vector bundle. This infinite-dimensional space has appeared in the study of Hermitian-Einstein structures, where a special L2-type Riemannian metric is introduced. We compute…

We explore the geometry of the Nahm-Schmid equations, a version of Nahm's equations in split signature. Our discussion ties up different aspects of their integrable nature: dimensional reduction from the Yang--Mills anti-self-duality…

Natural metric structures on tangent bundles and tangent sphere bundles enclose many important problems, from the topology of the base to the determination of their holonomy. We make here a brief study of the topic. We find the…

The aim of the present paper is three folds. For a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{A}$ (R.K.H.S) and a $\sigma-$finite measure space $(M_{1},d\mu_{1})$ for which the corresponding $L^{2}-$space is a separable Hilbert space, we…

We consider Hitchin's hyperk\"ahler metric $g$ on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of degree zero $\mathrm{SL}(2)$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface. It has been conjectured that, when one goes to infinity along a generic ray in…

The celebrated Nash Embedding Theorem asserts that every closed Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded into a sufficiently high-dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we prove an analogous result in the conformally compact…

We study a class of design problems in solid mechanics, leading to a variation on the classical question of equi-dimensional embeddability of Riemannian manifolds. In this general new context, we derive a necessary and sufficient existence…

In this paper, we study the convergence of Yang-Mills-Higgs fields defined on fiber bundles over Riemann surfaces where the fiber is a compact symplectic manifold and the conformal structure of the Riemann surface is allowed to vary. We…

Let $(M,\nabla,\langle\;,\;\rangle)$ be a manifold endowed with a flat torsionless connection $\nabla$ and a Riemannian metric $\langle\;,\;\rangle$ and $(T^kM)_{k\geq1}$ the sequence of tangent bundles given by $T^kM=T(T^{k-1}M)$ and…

We study the hypersymplectic geometry of the moduli space of solutions to Hitchin's harmonic map equations on a $G$-bundle. This is the split-signature analogue of Hitchin's Higgs bundle moduli space. Due to the lack of definiteness, this…

By virtue of the well-known theorem, a structure Lie group G of a principal bundle P is reducible to its closed subgroup H iff there exists a global section of the quotient bundle P/H. In gauge theory, such sections are treated as classical…

We study solutions of the Bogomolny equation on R^2\times S^1$ with prescribed singularities. We show that Nahm transform establishes a one-to-one correspondence between such solutions and solutions of the Hitchin equations on a punctured…

In this paper, we study the algebraic symplectic geometry of the singular moduli spaces of Higgs bundles of degree $0$ and rank $n$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$. In particular, we prove that such moduli spaces are…

Nahm's equations are viewed in a more general context where they appear as a vector field on a moduli space of co-Higgs bundles on the projective line. Zeros of this vector field correspond to torsion-free sheaves on a singular spectral…
