Semiprojectivity and very stability in moduli of symplectic and orthogonal parabolic Higgs bundles

Sumit Roy

Abstract

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. We prove the semiprojectivity of the moduli space of semistable symplectic or orthogonal parabolic Higgs bundles over $X$. We show that a stable symplectic parabolic bundle $E$ on $X$ is strongly very stable, meaning $E$ does not have any nonzero strongly parabolic nilpotent Higgs field, if and only if the symplectic parabolic Hitchin morphism induced on the affine space $$H^0(X,\mathrm{SPEnd}_\mathrm{Sp}(E) \otimes K(D))$$ is a proper morphism, where $\mathrm{SPEnd}_\mathrm{Sp}(E)$ denotes the set of symplectic strongly parabolic endomorphisms of $E$. We remark that the same criterion for very stability applies to the orthogonal case.
