Asymptotic behaviour of certain families of harmonic bundles on Riemann surfaces

Abstract

Let $(E,{\overline{\partial }}_E,\theta )$ be a stable Higgs bundle of degree $0$ on a compact connected Riemann surface. Once we fix the flat metric $h_{\det (E)}$ on the determinant of $E$, we have the harmonic metrics $h_t$ $(t>0)$ for the stable Higgs bundles $(E,{\overline{\partial }}_E,t\theta )$ such that $\det (h_t)=h_{\det (E)}$. We study the behaviour of $h_t$ when $t$ goes to $\infty$. First, we show that the Hitchin equation is asymptotically decoupled under the assumption that the Higgs field is generically regular semisimple. We apply it to the study of the so called Hitchin WKB-problem. Second, we study the convergence of the sequence $(E,{\overline{\partial }}_E,\theta ,h_t)$ in the case where the rank of $E$ is two. We introduce a rule to determine the parabolic weights of a "limiting configuration", and we show the convergence of the sequence to the limiting configuration in an appropriate sense. The results can be appropriately generalized in the context of Higgs bundles with a Hermitian-Einstein metric on curves.
