This paper concerns the moduli spaces of rank-two parabolic Higgs bundles and parabolic K(D) pairs over a smooth curve. Precisely which parabolic bundles occur in stable K(D) pairs and stable Higgs bundles is determined. Using Morse theory, the moduli space of parabolic Higgs bundles is shown to be a non-compact, connected, simply connected manifold, and a computation of its Poincaré polynomial is given.

AbstractWe prove a Torelli theorem for the moduli space of semistable parabolic Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective algebraic curve under the assumption that the parabolic weight systemis generic. When the genus is at least two, using this result we also prove a Torelli theoremfor the moduli space of semistable parabolic bundles of rank at least two with generic parabolic weights. The key input in the proofs is a method of J.C. Hurtubise.

We define semistable generalized parabolic Hitchin pairs (GPH) on a disjoint union [Formula: see text] of integral smooth curves and construct their moduli spaces. We define a Hitchin map on the moduli space of GPH and show that it is a proper map. We construct moduli spaces of semistable Hitchin pairs on a reducible projective curve [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is the normalization of [Formula: see text], we give a birational morphism [Formula: see text] from the moduli space [Formula: see text] of good GPH on [Formula: see text] to the moduli space [Formula: see text] of Hitchin pairs on [Formula: see text] and show that the Hitchin map on [Formula: see text] induces a proper Hitchin map on [Formula: see text]. We determine the fibers of the Hitchin maps. We study the relationship between representations of the (topological) fundamental group of [Formula: see text] and Higgs bundles on [Formula: see text]. We show that if all the irreducible components of [Formula: see text] are smooth, then the Hitchin map is defined on the entire moduli space [Formula: see text].

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.

Given a foliation F with closed leaves and with certain kinds of singularities on an oriented closed surface Σ, we construct in this paper an isotropic foliation on ℳ(Σ), the moduli space of flat G-connections, for G any compact simple simply connected Lie-group. We describe the infinitesimal structure of this isotropic foliation in terms of the basic cohomology with twisted coefficients of F. For any pair (F, g), where g is a singular metric on Σ compatible with F, we construct a new polarization on the symplectic manifold ℳ′(Σ), the open dense subset of smooth points of ℳ(Σ). We construct a sequence of complex structures on Σ, such that the corresponding complex structures on ℳ′(Σ) converges to the polarization associated to (F, g). In particular we see that the Jeffrey–Weitzman polarization on the SU(2)-moduli space is the limit of a sequence of complex structures induced from a degenerating family of complex structures on Σ, which converges to a point in the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space of Σ. As a corollary of the above constructions, we establish a certain discontinuiuty at the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space for the map from Teichmüller space to the space of polarizations on ℳ′(Σ). For any reducible finite order diffeomorphism of the surface, our constuction produces an invariant polarization on the moduli space.

Abstract Let $M$ be a simply connected spin manifold of dimension at least six, which admits a metric of positive scalar curvature. We show that the observer moduli space of positive scalar curvature metrics on $M$ has non-trivial higher homotopy groups. Moreover, denote by $\mathcal{M}_0^+(M)$ the moduli space of positive scalar curvature metrics on $M$ associated to the group of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$. We show that if $M$ belongs to a certain class of manifolds that includes $(2n-2)$-connected $(4n-2)$-dimensional manifolds, then the fundamental group of $\mathcal{M}_0^+(M)$ is non-trivial.

This survey is based on my lectures given in the last few years. As a reference, constructions of moduli spaces of parabolic sheaves and generalized parabolic sheaves are provided. By a refinement of the proof of vanishing theorems, we show, without using vanishing theorems, a new observation that [Formula: see text] is independent of all of the choices for any smooth curves. The estimate of various codimensions and computation of canonical line bundle of moduli space of generalized parabolic sheaves on a reducible curve are provided in Section 6, which is completely new.

AbstractWe study the connectedness of the moduli space of gauge equivalence classes of flat G-connections on a compact orientable surface or a compact nonorientable surface for a class of compact connected Lie groups. This class includes all the compact, connected, simply connected Lie groups, and some non-semisimple classical groups.

In order to unify the construction of the moduli space of vector bundles with different types of global decorations, such as Higgs bundles, framed vector bundles and conic bundles, A. H. W. Schmitt introduced the concept of a swamp. In this work, we consider vector bundles with both a global and a local decoration over a fixed point of the base. This generalizes the notion of parabolic vector bundles, vector bundles with a level structure and parabolic Higgs bundles. We introduce a notion of stability and construct the coarse moduli space for these objects as the GIT-quotient of a parameter space. In the case of parabolic vector bundles and vector bundles with a level structure our stability concept reproduces the known ones. Thus, our work unifies the construction of their moduli spaces.

In this paper, we investigate the mixed Hodge structures of the moduli space of $\boldsymbol{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles and the moduli space of $\boldsymbol{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$-stable regular singular parabolic connections. We show that the mixed Hodge polynomials are independent of the choice of generic eigenvalues and the mixed Hodge structures of these moduli spaces are pure. Moreover, by the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence, the Poincaré polynomials of character varieties are independent of the choice of generic eigenvalues.

AbstractWe show that$$\mathcal {M}_{g,n}$$Mg,n, the moduli space of smooth curves of genusgtogether withnmarked points, is unirational for$$g=12$$g=12and$$2 \le n\le 4$$2≤n≤4and for$$g=13$$g=13and$$1 \le n \le 3$$1≤n≤3, by constructing suitable dominant families of projective curves in$$\mathbb {P}^1 \times \mathbb {P}^2$$P1×P2and$$\mathbb {P}^3$$P3respectively. We also exhibit several new unirationality results for moduli spaces of smooth curves of genusgtogether withnunordered points, establishing their unirationality for$$g=11, n=7$$g=11,n=7and$$g=12, n =5,6$$g=12,n=5,6.
