Spectral transformation is known to set up a birational morphism between the Hitchin and Beauville-Mukai integrable systems. The corresponding phase spaces are: (a) the cotangent bundle of the moduli space of bundles over a curve C, and (b)…
We study topologically trivial $G$-Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve $X$ when the structure group $G$ is a connected real form of a complex semisimple Lie group $G^{\mathbb{C}}$. We achieve a description of their (reduced) moduli space,…
This article consists of two parts. In Part 1, we present a formulation of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories in terms of a functor from a category of Ribbon graphs to the endofuntor category of a monoidal category. The key…
We define a Fourier-Mukai transform for Higgs bundles on smooth curves and study its properties. It is shown that the transform of a stable zero-degree Higgs bundle is an algebraic vector bundle on the cotangent bundle of the Jacobian of…
We give an identification of the triple reduced product of three coadjoint orbits in SU(3) with a space of Hitchin pairs over a genus 0 curve with three punctures, where the residues of the Higgs field at the punctures are constrained to…
This article is based in part on lecture notes prepared for the summer school "The Geometry, Topology and Physics of Moduli Spaces of Higgs Bundles" at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore in July…
Let $X_0$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ and $\mathbb E$ a vector bundle on $X_0$. We give a criterion for connections on the base change ${\mathbb E}\otimes_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}{\mathbb C}…
For any V-twisted Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface X, where V is a holomorphic vector bundle of rank two on X, there are two associated Higgs bundles on X, twisted by line bundles, which are constructed using a Hecke transformation…
We consider the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve. Motivated by mirror symmetry, Hausel and Hitchin showed that over an open of the locus of smooth Hitchin fibers, the duality of Donagi-Pantev intertwines…
Let $k$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field of odd characteristic. We prove that for any rank two graded Higgs bundle with maximal Higgs field over a generic hyperbolic curve $X_1$ defined over $k$, there exists a lifting $X$ of the…
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…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$ with $\mathrm{deg}\,L>0$. Let $\mathbf{M}$ be the moduli space of semistable rank 2 $L$-twisted Higgs bundles with trivial determinant on $X$. Let…
This is a survey of various results about spectral covers and their relationship to Higgs bundles. To a G-principal Higgs bundle on a variety S corresponds a cameral cover \widetilde{S} of S (a W-Galois cover, where W is the Weyl group of…
We study moduli spaces of Higgs sheaves valued in line bundles and the associated Hitchin maps on surfaces. We first work out Picard groups of generic (very general) spectral varieties which holds for dimension of at least 2, i.e., a…
In this paper the moduli space of Higgs pairs over a fixed smooth projective curve with extra formal data is defined and it is endowed with a scheme structure. We introduce a relative version of the Krichever map using a fibration of Sato…
Quantum curves were introduced in the physics literature. We develop a mathematical framework for the case associated with Hitchin spectral curves. In this context, a quantum curve is a Rees $\mathcal{D}$-module on a smooth projective…
Given a tuple of holomorphic differentials on a Riemann surface, one can define a Higgs bundle in the Hitchin section and a natural symmetric pairing of the Higgs bundle. We study whether a Higgs bundle of rank 3 in the Hitchin section has…
Given an orthogonal bundle $E$ over a smooth projective curve $X$ we define a Hecke transformation in the moduli space of orthogonal bundles by performing an elementary transformation with respect to a Lagrangian submodule $L \subset…
The appearance of the Bethe Ansatz equation for the Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in the equivariant integration over the moduli space of Higgs bundles is revisited. We argue that the wave functions of the corresponding two-dimensional…
We describe spectral data for singular fibres of the $\mathsf{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-Hitchin fibration with irreducible and reduced spectral curve. Using Hecke transformations we give a stratification of these singular spaces by fibre bundles…
