Abstract: We develop a theory of stable bundles and affine Hermitian-Einstein metrics for flat vector bundles over a special affine manifold (a manifold admitting an atlas whose gluing maps are all locally constant volume-preserving affine maps). Our paper presents a parallel to Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau's proof of the existence of Hermitian-Einstein metrics on K"ahler manifolds, and the extension of this theorem by Li-Yau to the non-K"ahler complex case of Gauduchon metrics. Our definition of stability involves only flat vector subbundles (and not singular subsheaves), and so is simpler than the complex case in some places.


The present paper is a very useful study of affine Hermitian-Einstein metrics on holomorphic vector bundles. The main result is Theorem 1: Let \(M\) be a compact special affine manifold without boundary equipped with an affine Gauduchon metric \(g\). Let \(E\rightarrow M\) be a flat complex vector bundle. If \(E\) is \(g\)-stable then there is an affine Hermitian-Einstein metric on \(E\).
