Abstract:
The moduli space of triples of the form (E,θ,s) are considered, where (E,θ) is a Higgs bundle on a fixed Riemann surface X, and s is a nonzero holomorphic section of E. Such a moduli space admits a natural map to the moduli space of Higgs bundles simply by forgetting s. If (Y,L) is the spectral data for the Higgs bundle (E,θ), then s defines a section of the line bundle L over Y. The divisor of this section gives a point of a Hilbert scheme, parametrizing 0-dimensional subschemes of the total space of the canonical bundle K X , since Y is a curve on K X . The main result says that the pullback of the symplectic form on the moduli space of Higgs bundles to the moduli space of triples coincides with the pullback of the natural symplectic form on the Hilbert scheme using the map that sends any triple (E,θ,s) to the divisor of the corresponding section of the line bundle on the spectral curve.
