Given a compact Riemann surface X and a semi-simple affine algebraic group G defined over C, there are moduli spaces of Higgs bundles and of connections associated to (X, G). The chapter computes the Brauer group of the smooth locus of these varieties.

Abstract For $G = \mathrm {GL}_2, \mathrm {SL}_2, \mathrm {PGL}_2$ we compute the intersection E-polynomials and the intersection Poincaré polynomials of the G-character variety of a compact Riemann surface C and of the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles on C of degree zero. We derive several results concerning the P=W conjectures for these singular moduli spaces.

AbstractLetXbe a compact Riemann surfaceXof genus at–least two. Fix a holomorphic line bundleLoverX. Letbe the moduli space of Hitchin pairs (E, φ ∈H0(End0(E) ⊗L)) overXof rankrand fixed determinant of degreed. The following conditions are imposed:(i)deg(L) ≥ 2g−2,r≥ 2, andL⊗rKX⊗r;(ii)(r, d) = 1; and(iii)ifg= 2 thenr≥ 6, and ifg= 3 thenr≥ 4.We prove that that the isomorphism class of the varietyuniquely determines the isomorphism class of the Riemann surfaceX. Moreover, our analysis shows thatis irreducible (this result holds without the additional hypothesis on the rank for low genus).

AbstractIn this paper we describe the moduli spaces of degree d branched superminimal immersions of a compact Riemann surface of genus g into S4. We prove that when d ≥ max {2g, g + 2}, such spaces have the structure of projectivzed fibre products and are path-connected quasi projective varieties of dimension 2d − g + 4. This generalizes known results for spaces of harmonic 2-spheres in S4.

Abstract We study an algebraic inequality for nilpotent matrices and show some interesting geometric applications: (i) obtaining topological information for nilpotent polystable Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface; (ii) obtaining a sharp upper bound of the holomorphic sectional curvatures of the period domain and the Hodge metric on the Calabi–Yau moduli.

Let [Formula: see text] be a complex abelian variety and [Formula: see text] a complex reductive affine algebraic group. We describe the connected component, containing the trivial bundle, of the moduli spaces of topologically trivial principal [Formula: see text]-bundles and [Formula: see text]-Higgs bundles on [Formula: see text]. We also describe the moduli spaces of [Formula: see text]-connections and the [Formula: see text]-character variety for [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study triples of the form (E, θ, ϕ) over a compact Riemann surface, where (E, θ) is a Higgs bundle and ϕ is a global holomorphic section of the Higgs bundle. Our main result is an description of a birational equivalence which relates geometrically the moduli space of Higgs bundles of rank r and degree d to the moduli space of Higgs bundles of rank r-1 and degree d.

AbstractWe study the motive of the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve C over a field k under the assumption that C has a rational point. We show this motive is contained in the thick tensor subcategory of Voevodsky’s triangulated category of motives with rational coefficients generated by the motive of C. Moreover, over a field of characteristic zero, we prove a motivic non-abelian Hodge correspondence: the integral motives of the Higgs and de Rham moduli spaces are isomorphic.
