Asymptotic Behaviour of the Hitchin Metric on the Moduli Space of Higgs Bundles
摘要
The moduli space of stable Higgs bundles of degree 0 is equipped with the hyperkähler metric, called the Hitchin metric. On the locus where the spectral curves are smooth, there is the hyperkähler metric called the semi-flat metric, associated with the algebraic integrable systems with the Hitchin section. We prove the exponentially rapid decay of the difference between the Hitchin metric and the semi-flat metric along the ray
