Stable Higgs bundles over positive principal elliptic fibrations

Abstract

Let M be a compact complex manifold of dimension at least three and Π : M → X a positive principal elliptic fibration, where X is a compact Kähler orbifold. Fix a preferred Hermitian metric on M. In [14], the third author proved that every stable vector bundle on M is of the form L⊕ Π ⃰ B0, where B0 is a stable vector bundle on X, and L is a holomorphic line bundle on M. Here we prove that every stable Higgs bundle on M is of the form (L ⊕ Π ⃰B0, Π ⃰ ɸX), where (B0, ɸX) is a stable Higgs bundle on X and L is a holomorphic line bundle on M.
