New gravitational instantons and non-holomorphic minimal spheres discovered.

Removes singularities for Yang-Mills-Higgs fields in higher dimensions.

This paper gives a construction for all minimal immersions $f$ of the Poincaré disc into the complex hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{CH}^2$ which are equivariant with respect to an irreducible representation $ρ$ of a hyperbolic surface group into $PU(2,1)$. We exploit the fact that each such immersion is a twisted conformal …

The paper studies decay near singularities of 3d Yang-Mills-Higgs fields.

Study finds obstacles to solutions for specific equations on compact surfaces.

In this article, we study the Higgs vector bundles $(E,θ)$ over a compact Calabi-Yau manifolds $X$. We use Yang-Mills-Higgs flow to prove that if a semistable Higgs bundle with vanishing Chern classes over a compact connected Calabi-Yau manifold, then the Higgs field $θ$ is trivial. In particular, the vector bundle $E$…

We construct two types of non-holomorphic Lefschetz fibrations over $S^2$ with $(-1)$-sections ---hence, they are fiber sum indecomposable--- by giving the corresponding positive relators. One type of the two does not satisfy the slope inequality (a necessary condition for a fibration to be holomorphic) and has a simpl…

We define a `Higgs field' for a four-dimensional spin$^c$-manifold to be a smooth section of its positive half-spinor bundle, transverse to the zero section, and defined only up to a positive functional factor. This is intended to be a generalization of almost complex structures on real four-manifolds, each of which ma…

We study topology change in (2+1)D gravity coupling with non-Abelian SO(2,1) Higgs field from the point of view of Morse theory. It is shown that the Higgs potential can be identified as a Morse function. The critical points of the latter (i.e. loci of change of the spacetime topology) coincide with zeros of the Higgs …

Study families of flat connections with nilpotent Higgs fields, showing similar monodromy to regular Higgs bundles.

The paper defines and analyzes higher-order Yang-Mills-Higgs functionals and their gradient flows.

In this paper, we introduce some notions on the pair consisting of a Chern connection and a Higgs field closely related to the first and second variation of Yang-Mills- Higgs functional, such as strong Yang-Mills-Higgs pair, degenerate Yang-Mills-Higgs pair, stable Yang-Mills-Higgs pair. We investigate some properties …

Improved sensitivity to Higgs potential through neural simulation-based inference for di-Higgs events.

In this paper we give an overview of different Morse-theoretic methods used to study the topology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles.

The paper studies ray transforms on surfaces with negative curvature, proving injectivity and determining connections and Higgs fields.

On a complex manifold, a co-Higgs bundle is a holomorphic vector bundle with an endomorphism twisted by the tangent bundle. The notion of generalized holomorphic bundle in Hitchin's generalized geometry coincides with that of co-Higgs bundle when the generalized complex manifold is ordinary complex. Schwarzenberger's r…

We show that for a simple surface with boundary the attenuated ray transform in the presence of a unitary connection and a skew-Hermitian Higgs field is injective modulo the natural obstruction for functions and vector fields. We also show that the connection and the Higgs field are uniquely determined by the scatterin…

Study of limits of Einstein-Bogomol'nyi metrics on P^1 in two regimes.

Co-Higgs bundles are Higgs bundles in the sense of Simpson, but with Higgs fields that take values in the tangent bundle instead of the cotangent bundle. Given a vector bundle on P^1, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on its Grothendieck splitting for it to admit a stable Higgs field. We characterize the rank…

Study extended Bogomolny equations on curved space with special boundary conditions.

Classifies very stable Higgs bundles for complex groups.

The Kapustin-Witten equations on R^4 are equations for a pair of connection on the product principle SU(2) bundle and 1-form with values in the product Lie algebra bundle. The 1-form is the Higgs field. A dichotomy is proved to the effect that either the averaged norm of the Higgs field on large radius spheres grows fa…

Paper proves injectivity of non-abelian X-ray transform on certain spaces.

We generalize here our general procedure for constructing constant curvature maps of 2-spheres into Grassmannian manifolds G(m,n) this time concentrating our attention on maps which are non-holomorphic. We present some expressions describing these solutions in the general case and discuss how to use these results to co…

For a two-dimensional simple magnetic system, we study the attenuated magnetic ray transform $I_{A,Φ}$, with attenuation given by a unitary connection $A$ and a skew-Hermitian Higgs field $Φ$. We give a description for the range of $I_{A,Φ}$ acting on $\mathbb C^n$-valued tensor fields.

Transforms uniquely determine Higgs fields on real-analytic manifolds.

The paper studies the locus in the rank 2 Higgs bundle moduli space corresponding to points which are critical for d of the Poisson commuting functions. These correspond to the Higgs field vanishing on a divisor of degree D. The degree D critical locus has an induced integrable system related to K(-D)-twisted Higgs bun…

We study isolated singularities of two dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs fields defined on a fiber bundle, where the fiber space is a compact Riemannian manifold and the structure group is a compact connected Lie group. In general the singularity can not be removed due to possibly non-vanishing limit holonomy around the sin…

The main result of this paper is a construction of solutions to the reverse Yang-Mills-Higgs flow converging in the $C^\infty$ topology to a critical point. The construction uses only the complex gauge group action, which leads to an algebraic classification of the isomorphism classes of points in the unstable set of a…

Extending work of Caffarelli-Yang and Tarantello, we present a variational existence proof for two-vortex solutions of the periodic Chern-Simons Higgs model and analyze the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as the parameter coupling the gauge field with the scalar field tends to 0.

Study on harmonic Higgs bundles with vanishing endormorphism and eigenvalues of Q.

The Higgs field growth is studied on special geometric spaces, confirming a conjecture.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb C$. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle $(\calE\, ,θ)$ on $X$ admits an Einstein--Hermitian connection if and only if $(\calE\, ,θ)$ is polystable. A similar result for twisted vector bundles (no Higgs fields) was proved by S. Wang in \cite{Wa}. Our approach …

We extend Eardley and Moncrief's $L^\infty$ estimates for the conformally invariant Yang-Mills-Higgs equations to the Einstein cylinder. Our method is to first work on Minkowski space and localise their estimates, and then carry them to the Einstein cylinder by a conformal transformation. By patching local estimates to…
