Symplectic Geometry of Higgs Moduli and the Hilbert Scheme of Points
Zelin Jia
TL;DR
This work establishes a global holomorphic symplectomorphism between the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_H^s(n,0)$ of stable marked Higgs bundles on an elliptic curve $C$ and the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on the cotangent bundle $\mathrm{Hilb}^n(T^*C)$. It combines spectral data via the BNR correspondence, the Fourier–Mukai transform, and the Biswas–Mukherjee method to compare holomorphic symplectic forms, showing $f^*(\mathrm{d}\Omega)=\phi^*(\mathrm{d}\Omega_{(n,0)})$ and that the Hitchin-base contribution vanishes, hence a genuine symplectomorphism. The generic case is analyzed through a natural twisting that reduces to $(T^*C)^n_{\star}$, and this is extended to the whole spaces, with the Hilbert–Chow morphism providing a holomorphic symplectic resolution. The results illuminate a deep link between Hitchin integrable systems on elliptic curves and the geometry of Hilbert schemes, framed by spectral data, parabolic/marked structures, and derived equivalences.
Abstract
We show that the isomorphism between the moduli space of certain parabolic Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve and the Hilbert scheme of n points of the cotangent bundle of the elliptic curve is a symplectomorphism with respect to their natural symplectic structures.
