[HTML][HTML] Parabolic Higgs bundles and representations of the fundamental group of a punctured surface into a real group

O Biquard, O García-Prada, IM i Riera - Advances in Mathematics, 2020 - Elsevier
We study parabolic G-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface with fixed punctures,

A general Cayley correspondence and higher rank Teichmüller spaces

S Bradlow, B Collier, O García-Prada… - Annals of …, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
We introduce a new class of sl_2-triples in a complex simple Lie algebra g, which we call
magical. Such an sl_2-triple canonically defines a real form and various decompositions of …

Involutions and higher order automorphisms of Higgs bundle moduli spaces

O García‐Prada, S Ramanan - Proceedings of the London …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the moduli space M (G) of G‐Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface
X, where G is a complex semisimple Lie group. This is a hyperkähler manifold …

-Higgs bundles and Higher Teichmüller components

M Aparicio-Arroyo, S Bradlow, B Collier… - Inventiones …, 2019 - Springer
Some connected components of a moduli space are mundane in the sense that they are
distinguished only by obvious topological invariants or have no special characteristics …

On cyclic Higgs bundles

S Dai, Q Li - Mathematische Annalen, 2020 - Springer
In this paper, we derive a maximum principle for a type of elliptic systems and apply it to
analyze the Hitchin equation for cyclic Higgs bundles. We show several domination results …

Global properties of Higgs bundle moduli spaces

S Bradlow - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.00762, 2023 - arxiv.org
The moduli spaces for Higgs bundles associated to real Lie groups and a closed Riemann
surface have multiple connected components. This survey provides a compendium of results …

Cayley and Langlands type correspondences for orthogonal Higgs bundles

D Baraglia, L Schaposnik - Transactions of the American Mathematical …, 2019 - ams.org
Through Cayley and Langlands type correspondences, we give a geometric description of
