HITCHIN SYSTEMS FOR INVARIANT AND ANTI-INVARIANT VECTOR BUNDLES

Given a smooth projective complex curve X with an involution σ, we study the Hitchin systems for the locus of anti-invariant (resp. invariant) stable vector bundles over X under σ. Using these integrable systems and the theory of the nilpotent cone, we study the irreducibility of these loci. The ant...

Description
Summary:Given a smooth projective complex curve X with an involution σ, we study the Hitchin systems for the locus of anti-invariant (resp. invariant) stable vector bundles over X under σ. Using these integrable systems and the theory of the nilpotent cone, we study the irreducibility of these loci. The anti-invariant locus can be thought of as a generalisation of Prym varieties to higher rank. © 2022 American Mathematical Society.
