Abstract:

The Hitchin morphism is a map from the moduli space of Higgs bundles to the Hitchin base, which is generally not surjective when the dimension of the variety is greater than one. Chen-Ngo introduced the concept of the spectral base, which is a closed subscheme of the Hitchin base. They conjectured that the Hitchin morphism is surjective to the spectral base and also proved that the surjectivity is equivalent to the existence of finite Cohen-Macaulayfications of the spectral varieties. For rank two Higgs bundles, we will discuss an explicit construction of the Cohen-Macaulayfication of the spectral variety. In addition, we will discuss several applications using the spectral base to the topology of projective variety. This talk is based on some collaborative work with J. Liu and N. Mok.

      Seminar on Moduli Spaces and Related Topics | Sheaves on non-reduced curves in a projective surface

      Abstract Sheaves on non-reduced curves can appear in moduli spaces of 1-dimensional semistable sheaves over a surface, and moduli spaces of Higgs bundles as well. We estimate the dimension of the stack M_X(nC, \chi) of pure sheaves supported at the non-reduced curve nC (n ≥ 2) with C an integral curve on X. We prove that the Hilbert-Chow morphism h_{L,\chi} : M_X^H(L, \chi) -> |L| sending each...

      The spectral base of Hitchin maps | GRASP seminar

      AbstractLet X be a projective manifold. The Hitchin morphism is a map from the moduli stack of Higgsbundles over X to the Hitchin base, which sends a Higgs bundle to its characteristic polynomial. lfX is a curve, it is well-known that the Hitchin morphism is surjective and it plays an important rolein the study of the moduli space of Higgs bundles. However, if X has dimension at least two, theH...
