This work concerns the study of certain finite-energy solutions of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations on Euclidean 4-dimensional space which are periodic in two directions, so-called doubly-periodic instantons. We establish a circle of…
We present the Nahm transform of the doubly-periodic instantons introduced in math.DG/9909069, converting them into certain meromorphic solutions of Hitchin's equations over an elliptic curve.
We construct the Nahm transform for Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface of genus at least 2 as hyperholomorphic connections on the total space of the tangent bundle of its dual Jacobian.
We formulate a correspondence between SU(2) monopole chains and ``spectral data'', consisting of curves in $\mathbb{CP}^1\times\mathbb{CP}^1$ equipped with parabolic line bundles. This is the analogue for monopole chains of Donaldson's…
We study Nahm transformation for parabolic Higgs bundles on the projective line \PP^1, with logarithmic singularities on a finite set P. Such a Higgs bundle can be given by its spectral data: a Hirzebruch surface Z together with a coherent…
Given an holomorphic Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one, we construct a DQ-module supported by the spectral curve associated to this bundle. Then, we relate quantum curves arising in various situations…
We construct finite energy instanton connection on $R^4$ which are periodic in two directions via an analogue of the Nahm transform for certain singular solutions of Hitchin's equations defined over a 2-torus.
Magnetic monopoles in hyperbolic space are in correspondence with certain algebraic curves in mini-twistor space, known as spectral curves, which are in turn in correspondence with rational maps between Riemann spheres. Hyperbolic monopoles…
We study doubly-periodic instantons, i.e. instantons on the product of a 1-dimensional complex torus T with a complex line C, with quadratic curvature decay. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new…
Calorons (periodic instantons) are anti-self-dual (ASD) connections on S^1 \times R^3 and form an intermediate case between instantons and monopoles. The ADHM and Nahm constructions of instantons and monopoles can be regarded as…
We link the periodicity of Hitchin's uniformizing Higgs bundle with the arithmetic geometry of its underlying curve. Some new relations are discovered. We also speculate on the whole class of periodic Higgs bundles.
We embed the multi-fractional instantons of $SU(N)$ gauge theories on $\mathbb T^4$ with 't Hooft twisted boundary conditions into $U(N)$ bundles and use the Nahm transform to study the corresponding configurations on the dual…
We construct the Nahm transform from finite energy instantons on the product of a real line and a three dimensional torus to Dirac-type singular monopoles on the dual torus. Moreover, we show the correspondence between the data which handle…
Using the Nahm transform we investigate doubly periodic charge one SU(2) instantons with radial symmetry. Two special points where the Nahm zero modes have softer singularities are identified as the locations of instanton core constituents.…
In this paper, we consider a generalization of the theory of Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective curve in which the twisting of the Higgs field by the canonical bundle of the curve is replaced by a rank 2 vector bundle. We define…
We show that the Higgs and gauge fields for a BPS monopole may be constructed directly from the spectral curve without having to solve the gauge constraint needed to obtain the Nahm data. The result is the analogue of the instanton result:…
Given two hyperk\"ahler manifolds $M$ and $N$ and a quaternionic instanton on their product, a hyperk\"ahler Nahm transform can be defined, which maps quaternionic instantons on $M$ to quaternionic instantons on $N$. This construction…
We define and study spectral data associated to U(m,m)-Higgs bundles through the Hitchin fibration. We give a new interpretation of the topological invariants involved, as well as a geometric description of the moduli space.
We give a complete, self-contained computation of the spectral data parametrising Higgs bundles in the generic fibres of the $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}$-Hitchin fibration where the Higgs fields are $L$-twisted endomorphisms. Although the spectral…
The paper aims at giving an introduction to the notion of quantum curves. The main purpose is to describe the new discovery of the relation between the following two disparate subjects: one is the topological recursion, that has its origin…
