Global properties of Higgs bundle moduli spaces

Algebraic Geometry 2023-12-04 v1 Geometric Topology

Abstract

The moduli spaces for Higgs bundles associated to real Lie groups and a closed Riemann surface have multiple connected components. This survey provides a compendium of results concerning the counting of these components in cases where the Lie group is a real forms of a complex simple Lie group. In some cases the components can be described quite explicitly.
