A Fourier transform for Higgs bundles
arXiv:math/0104253
Abstract
We define a Fourier-Mukai transform for Higgs bundles on smooth curves and study its properties. It is shown that the transform of a stable zero-degree Higgs bundle is an algebraic vector bundle on the cotangent bundle of the Jacobian of the curve. We show that this transformed bundle admits a natural extension to an algebraic vector bundle over a projective compactification of the base. The main result is that the original Higgs bundle can be reconstructed from this extension. We also compute certain invariants of the transformed bundle.
