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.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a moduli space of stable parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two over a Riemann surface X. It is a smooth variety defined over [Formula: see text] equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Fix a projective structure [Formula: see text] on X. Using [Formula: see text], we construct a quantization of a certain Zariski open dense subset of the symplectic variety [Formula: see text].

This chapter finds an agreement of equivariant indices of semi-classical homomorphisms between pairwise mirror branes in the GL2 Higgs moduli space on a Riemann surface. On one side of the agreement, components of the Lagrangian brane of U(1,1) Higgs bundles, whose mirror was proposed by Hitchin to be certain even exterior powers of the hyperholomorphic Dirac bundle on the SL2 Higgs moduli space, are present. The agreement arises from a mysterious functional equation. This gives strong computational evidence for Hitchin’s proposal.

We establish a gluing construction for Higgs bundles over a connected sum of Riemann surfaces in terms of solutions to the [Formula: see text]-Hitchin equations using the linearization of a relevant elliptic operator. The construction can be used to provide model Higgs bundles in all the [Formula: see text] exceptional components of the maximal [Formula: see text]-Higgs bundle moduli space, which correspond to components solely consisting of Zariski dense representations. This also allows a comparison between the invariants for maximal Higgs bundles and the topological invariants for Anosov representations constructed by Guichard and Wienhard.

Given a compact Riemann surface [Formula: see text] and a moduli space [Formula: see text] of parabolic stable bundles on it of fixed determinant of complete parabolic flags, we prove that the Poincaré parabolic bundle on [Formula: see text] is parabolic stable with respect to a natural polarization on [Formula: see text].

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.

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.
