Funded Activity Summary

Higgs bundle moduli spaces and spectral data. The aim of this Project is to advance the study of Higgs bundles using a construction known as spectral data. Higgs bundles are geometric structures bridging several branches of mathematics including differential geometry, representation theory and mathematical physics. This should lead to new results and solve some important open problems concerning the geometry of Higgs bundle moduli spaces and their symmetry groups. The results obtained in the Project should benefit the many branches of mathematics interacting with Higgs bundles. Such theoretical underpinnings are the basis on which new innovations and technologies in science and engineering may be developed.
