Abstract

Let \(({{\mathcal {E}}}, \phi )\) be a rank two co-Higgs vector bundles on a Kähler compact surface X with \(\phi \in H^0(X,End({{\mathcal {E}}})\otimes T_X)\) nilpotent. If \(({{\mathcal {E}}}, \phi )\) is semi-stable, then one of the following holds up to finite étale cover: (1) X is uniruled. (2) X is a torus and \(({{\mathcal {E}}}, \phi )\) is strictly semi-stable. (3) X is a properly elliptic surface and \(({{\mathcal {E}}}, \phi )\) is strictly semi-stable.
