(Co)-Higgs bundles on Non-Kähler Elliptic Surfaces

In this paper, we study Higgs and co-Higgs bundles on non-Kähler elliptic surfaces. We show, in particular, that non-trivial stable Higgs bundles only exist when the base of the elliptic fibration has genus at least two and use this existence result to give explicit topological conditions ensuring the smoothness of moduli spaces of stable rank-2 sheaves on such surfaces. We also show that non-trivial stable co-Higgs bundles only exist when the base of the elliptic fibration has genus 0, in which case the non-Kähler elliptic surface is a Hopf surface. We then given a complete description of non-trivial co-Higgs bundles in the rank 2 case; these non-trivial rank-2 co-Higgs bundles are examples of non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structures on $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundles over Hopf surfaces.

A vanishing theorem for T-branes

We consider regular polystable Higgs pairs $(E, ϕ)$ on compact complex manifolds. We show that a non-trivial Higgs field $ϕ\in H^0 ({\rm End} (E) \otimes K_S)$ restricts the Ricci curvature of the manifold, generalising previous results in the literature. In particular $ϕ$ must vanish for positive Ricci curvature, while for trivial canonical bundle it must be proportional to the identity. For Kähler surfaces, our results provide a new vanishing theorem for solutions to the Vafa--Witten equations. Moreover they constrain supersymmetric 7-brane configurations in F-theory, giving obstructions to the existence of T-branes, i.e. solutions with $[ϕ, ϕ^\dagger] \neq 0$. When non-trivial Higgs fields are allowed, we give a general characterisation of their structure in terms of vector bundle data, which we then illustrate in explicit examples.

Commuting Pairs, Generalized para-Kähler Geometry and Born Geometry

In this paper, we study the geometries given by commuting pairs of generalized endomorphisms ${\cal A} \in \text{End}(T\oplus T^*)$ with the property that their product defines a generalized metric. There are four types of such commuting pairs: generalized Kähler (GK), generalized para-Kähler (GpK), generalized chiral and generalized anti-Kähler geometries. We show that GpK geometry is equivalent to a pair of para-Hermitian structures and we derive the integrability conditions in terms of these. From the physics point of view, this is the geometry of $2D$ $(2,2)$ twisted supersymmetric sigma models. The generalized chiral structures are equivalent to a pair of tangent bundle product structures that also appear in physics applications of $2D$ sigma models. We show that the case when the two product structures anti-commute corresponds to Born geometry. Lastly, the generalized anti-Kähler structures are equivalent to a pair of anti-Hermitian structures (sometimes called Hermitian with Norden metric). The generalized chiral and anti-Kähler geometries do not have isotropic eigenbundles and therefore do not admit the usual description of integrability in terms of the Dorfman bracket. We therefore use an alternative definition of integrability in terms of the generalized Bismut connection of the corresponding metric, which for GK and GpK commuting pairs recovers the usual integrability conditions and can also be used to define the integrability of generalized chiral and anti-Kähler structures. In addition, it allows for a weakening of the integrability condition, which has various applications in physics.

A Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for $I_\pm$-holomorphic bundles

In this paper, we introduce the notions of $α$-Hermitian-Einstein metric and $α$-stability for $I_\pm$-holomorphic vector bundles on bi-Hermitian manifolds. Moreover, we establish a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for $I_\pm$-holomorphic vector bundles on bi-Hermitian manifolds. Examples of such vector bundles include generalized holomorphic bundles on generalized Kähler manifolds. We also show that $α$-stability of a vector bundle, in this sense, can depend on the parameter $α$.

OPE of Wilson-'t Hooft operators in N=4 and N=2 SYM with gauge group G=PSU(3)

We compute the simplest non-trivial Operator Product Expansion of Wilson-'t Hooft loop operators in N=4 and N=2 Super-Yang-Mills theory with gauge group G=PSU(3). This amounts to finding the Euler characters of certain vector bundles, describing electric degrees of freedom of loop operators entering the OPE, over moduli spaces of BPS states in the presence of loop operators.

Stable bundles on hypercomplex surfaces

A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with three complex structures I, J, K satisfying the quaternionic relations. Let M be a 4-dimensional compact smooth manifold equipped with a hypercomplex structure, and E be a vector bundle on M. We show that the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on E is also hypercomplex, and admits a strong HKT metric. We also study manifolds with (4,4)-supersymmetry, that is, Riemannian manifolds equipped with a pair of strong HKT-structures that have opposite torsion. In the language of Hitchin's and Gualtieri's generalized complex geometry, (4,4)-manifolds are called ``generalized hyperkaehler manifolds''. We show that the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on M is a (4,4)-manifold if M is equipped with a (4,4)-structure.

An essentially saturated surface not of Kaehler-type

It is shown that if $X$ is an Inoue surface of type $S_M$ then the irreducible components of the Douady space of $X^n$ are compact, for all $n>0$. This gives an example of an essentially saturated compact complex manifold (in the sense of model theory) that is not of Kaehler-type. Among the known compact complex surfaces without curves, it is shown that these are the only examples.

Stable bundles on Hopf manifolds

In this paper, we study holomorphic vector bundles on (diagonal) Hopf manifolds. In particular, we give a description of moduli spaces of stable bundles on generic (non-elliptic) Hopf surfaces. We also give a classification of stable rank-2 vector bundles on generic Hopf manifolds of complex dimension greater than two.

Holomorphic rank-2 vector bundles on non-Kahler elliptic surfaces

The existence problem for vector bundles on a smooth compact complex surface consists in determining which topological complex vector bundles admit holomorphic structures. For projective surfaces, Schwarzenberger proved that a topological complex vector bundle admits a holomorphic (algebraic) structure if and only if its first Chern class belongs to the Neron-Severi group of the surface. In contrast, for non-projective surfaces there is only a necessary condition for the existence problem (the discriminant of the vector bundles must be positive) and the difficulty of the problem resides in the lack of a general method for constructing non-filtrable vector bundles. In this paper, we close the existence problem in the rank-2 case, by giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of holomorphic rank-2 vector bundles on non-K\" ahler elliptic surfaces.

Stable bundles on non-Kahler elliptic surfaces

In this paper, we study the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{δ,c_2}$ of stable rank-2 vector bundles on non-K\" ahler elliptic surfaces, thus giving a classification these bundles; in the case of Hopf and Kodaira surfaces, these moduli spaces admit the structure of an algebraically completely integrable Hamiltonian system.

Twisted Fourier-Mukai transforms and bundles on non-Kahler elliptic surfaces

In this paper, we study holomorphic rank-2 vector bundles on non-K\" ahler elliptic surfaces. Our main tool for analysing these bundles is of course the spectral cover. However, given the non-Kähler condition, the elliptic surfaces we are considering do not have sections and gerbes naturally arise in this context. The spectral construction presented in this paper is a modification of the Fourier-Mukai transform for elliptic fibrations without a section. After examining some of the properties of this Fourier-Mukai transform, we give a complete classification of vector bundles on these surfaces.
