Locally homogeneous structures on Hopf surfaces
We study holomorphic locally homogeneous geometric structures modelled on line bundles over the projective line. We classify these structures on primary Hopf surfaces. We write out the developing map and holonomy morphism of each of these structures explicitly on each primary Hopf surface.
متن کاملParabolic Higgs Bundles and Teichmüller Spaces for Punctured Surfaces
In this paper we study the relation between parabolic Higgs bundles and irreducible representations of the fundamental group of punctured Riemann surfaces established by Simpson. We generalize a result of Hitchin, identifying those parabolic Higgs bundles that correspond to Fuchsian representations. We also study the Higgs bundles that give representations whose image is contained, after conjug...
متن کاملCohomology of U(2, 1) Representation Varieties of Surface Groups
In this paper we use the Morse theory of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on the singular space of Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces to compute the equivariant cohomology of the space of semistable U(2, 1) and SU(2, 1) Higgs bundles with fixed Toledo invariant. In the non-coprime case this gives new results about the topology of the U(2, 1) and SU(2, 1) character varieties of surface groups. The...
متن کاملElliptic Involutive Structures and Generalized Higgs Algebroids
ELLIPTIC INVOLUTIVE STRUCTURES AND GENERALIZED HIGGS ALGEBROIDS Eric O. Korman Jonathan Block We study the module theory of two types of Lie algebroids: elliptic involutive structures (EIS) (which are equivalent to transversely holomorphic foliations) and what we call twisted generalized Higgs algebroids (TGHA). Generalizing the wellknown results in the extremal cases of flat vector bundles and...
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...
