چکیده
We construct a Petersson-Weil type Kähler form on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles over a compact Kähler manifold. A fiber integral formula for this form is proved, from which it follows that the Petersson-Weil form is the curvature of a certain determinant line bundle, equipped with a Quillen metric, on the moduli space of Higgs bundles over a projective manifold. The curvature of the Petersson-Weil Kähler form is computed. We also show that, under certain assumptions, a moduli space of Higgs bundles supports of natural hyper-Kähler structure.

متن کاملModuli Spaces of Parabolic Higgs Bundles and Parabolic K(d) Pairs over Smooth Curves: I
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 noncompact, connected, simply connected manifold, and a computation of its Poincaré polynomial ...
متن کاملRank One Higgs Bundles and Representations of Fundamental Groups of Riemann Surfaces
This expository paper details the theory of rank one Higgs bundles over a closed Riemann surface X and their relationship to representations of the fundamental group of X . We construct an equivalence between the deformation theories of flat connections and Higgs pairs. This provides an identification of moduli spaces arising in different contexts. The moduli spaces are real Lie groups. From ea...
متن کاملHyperkähler Geometry and the Moduli Space of Higgs Bundles
Today will be mostly preliminaries, including some complex and symplectic geometry, such as the symplectic quotient, and an introduction to Kähler and hyperkähler geometry. Over the rest of the week, we’ll discuss some examples (which are usually left implicit) such as quiver varieties, introduce the moduli space of Higgs bundles, and more. A good reference for this is Andy Neitzke’s lecture no...
متن کاملVariation of moduli of parabolic Higgs bundles
A moduli problem in algebraic geometry is the problem of constructing a space parametrizing all objects of some kind modulo some equivalence. If the equivalence is anything but equality, one usually has to impose some sort of stability condition on the objects represented. In many cases, however, this stability condition is not canonical, but depends on a parameter, which typically varies in a ...
