Abstract Relying on a notion of “numerical effectiveness” for Higgs bundles, we show that the category of “numerically flat” Higgs vector bundles on a smooth projective variety X is a Tannakian category. We introduce the associated group scheme, that we call the “Higgs fundamental group scheme of X,” and show that its properties are related to a conjecture about the vanishing of the Chern classes of numerically flat Higgs vector bundles.

This chapter presents the facsimile of Gerd Faltings' article entitled “A p-adic Simpson Correspondence,” reprinted from Advances in Mathematics 198(2), 2005. In this article, an equivalence between the category of Higgs bundles and that of “generalized representations” of the étale fundamental group is constructed for curves over a p-adic field. The definition of “generalized representations” uses p-adic Hodge theory and almost étale coverings, and it includes usual representations which form a full subcategory. The equivalence depends on the choice of an exponential function for the multiplicative group. The method used in the proofs is the theory of almost étale extensions. A nonabelian Hodge–Tate theory is also developed.

This chapter describes the cohomology of Higgs isocrystals, which are introduced to replace the notion of Higgs bundles. The link between these two notions uses Higgs envelopes and calls to mind the link between classical crystals and modules with integrable connections. After discussing Higgs isocrystals and Higgs crystals, cohomology of Higgs isocrystals, and representations of the fundamental group, the chapter presents the main result: the construction of a fully faithful functor from the category of Higgs (iso)crystals satisfying an overconvergence condition to that of small generalized representations. It also proves the compatibility of this functor with the natural cohomologies and concludes by comparing the cohomology of Higgs isocrystals with Faltings cohomology.

The p-adic Simpson correspondence, recently initiated by Gerd Faltings, aims at describing all p-adic representations of the fundamental group of a proper smooth variety over a p-adic field in terms of linear algebra—namely Higgs bundles. This book undertakes a systematic development of the theory following two new approaches. It mainly focuses on generalized representations of the fundamental group that are p-adically close to the trivial representation. The first approach relies on a new family of period rings built from the torsor of deformations of the variety over a universal p-adic thickening defined by J. M. Fontaine. The second approach introduces a crystalline-type topos and replaces the notion of Higgs bundles with that of Higgs isocrystals. The book shows the compatibility of the two constructions and the compatibility of the correspondence with the natural cohomologies. The last part of the book contains results of wider interest in p-adic Hodge theory. The reader will find a concise introduction to Faltings' theory of almost étale extensions and a chapter devoted to the Faltings topos. Though this topos is the general framework for Faltings' approach in p-adic Hodge theory, it remains relatively unexplored.

The goal of this chapter is to examine the various ways in which Fuchsian representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus g into PSL(2, R) and their associated Higgs bundles generalize to the higher-rank groups PSL(n, R), PSp(2n, R), SO0(2, n), SO0(n,n+1) and PU(n, n). For the SO0(n,n+1)-character variety, it parameterises n(2g−2) new connected components as the total spaces of vector bundles over appropriate symmetric powers of the surface, and shows how these components deform in the character variety. This generalizes results of Hitchin for PSL(2, R).

Abstract Let X be an irreducible smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over ℂ. Let MG, Higgsδbe a connected reductive affine algebraic group over ℂ. Let Higgs be the moduli space of semistable principal G-Higgs bundles on X of topological type δ∈π1(G). In this article,we compute the fundamental group and Picard group of

Previous research about group perception in terms of warmth and competence focused on the effects of social structural factors but overlooked the role of the fundamental group characteristic (i.e., entitativity or groupiness). Three studies were conducted to examine people’s perception of high/low entitativity groups under various functional relations. In Study 1, we experimentally created the target group (i.e., Group X) and manipulated entitativity and functional relation. In Studies 2 and 3, we chose a real group (i.e., Uyghurs) as the target group and measured cues to entitativity (Study 2) or entitativity itself (Study 3) and interethnic relations. In all studies, participants rated the target group on warmth and competence dimensions. The results suggested that, under cooperative functional relation, the group with higher entitativity was perceived as more competent and warmer, thereby more beneficial. Conversely, when the functional relation was conflictive, the group with higher entitativity was perceived as more competent but colder, and thus more harmful.

There are two families of geometric structures associated to a surface, with both structures related to representations of the fundamental group of the surface into SL(2, ℂ). These are projective structures on the surface, and Higgs bundles for a given conformal structure of the surface. This note discusses the links between the two.

Based on the analysis of 13,110 medical examinations performed on a standardized population of pneumoconiosis patients recorded on the F.O.D. computer file, the authors describe the value of the subjective estimations of »obesity«, »thinness« or »normal weight« by their correlation with the observed weight and height. Although there are striking differences in appreciation between the physicians performing the examinations, the qualifications »obese«, »thin« or »normal« correspond with real group differences in weight, between certain limits which can be defined. The ratio between the observed weight and the expected weight (using the Broca formula) shows the same pattern. In tins way it becomes possible to propose upper and lower limits for obesity, thinness and normal weight based on purely empiric data. Feeding back this information to the examining physicians should help reduce the differences between physicians and improve the results. Therefore, the authors find it useful to keep such information in the computer file.
