The Geometry, Topology And Physics Of Moduli Spaces Of Higgs Bundles

Release Date: 2018-06-28
In the 25 years since their introduction, Higgs bundles have seen a surprising number of interactions within different areas of mathematics and physics. There is a recent surge of interest following Ngô Bau Châu's proof of the Fundamental Lemma and the work of Kapustin and Witten on the Geometric Langlands program. The program on The Geometry, Topology and Physics of Moduli Spaces of Higgs Bundles, was held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore during 2014. It hosted a number of lectures on recent topics of importance related to Higgs bundles, and it is the purpose of this volume to collect these lectures in a form accessible to graduate students and young researchers interested in learning more about this field.
Moduli Spaces and Vector Bundles—New Trends
Author: Peter Gothen
language: en
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
Release Date: 2024-07-18
This volume contains the proceedings of the VBAC 2022 Conference on Moduli Spaces and Vector Bundles—New Trends, held in honor of Peter Newstead's 80th birthday, from July 25–29, 2022, at the University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom. The papers focus on the theory of stability conditions in derived categories, non-reductive geometric invariant theory, Brill-Noether theory, and Higgs bundles and character varieties. The volume includes both survey and original research articles. Most articles contain substantial background and will be helpful to both novices and experts.
Geometric Invariant Theory, Holomorphic Vector Bundles and the Harder-Narasimhan Filtration

language: en
Publisher: Springer Nature
Release Date: 2021-03-24
This book introduces key topics on Geometric Invariant Theory, a technique to obtaining quotients in algebraic geometry with a good set of properties, through various examples. It starts from the classical Hilbert classification of binary forms, advancing to the construction of the moduli space of semistable holomorphic vector bundles, and to Hitchin’s theory on Higgs bundles. The relationship between the notion of stability between algebraic, differential and symplectic geometry settings is also covered. Unstable objects in moduli problems -- a result of the construction of moduli spaces -- get specific attention in this work. The notion of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration as a tool to handle them, and its relationship with GIT quotients, provide instigating new calculations in several problems. Applications include a survey of research results on correspondences between Harder-Narasimhan filtrations with the GIT picture and stratifications of the moduli space of Higgs bundles. Graduate students and researchers who want to approach Geometric Invariant Theory in moduli constructions can greatly benefit from this reading, whose key prerequisites are general courses on algebraic geometry and differential geometry.
