A compactification of the moduli space of principal Higgs bundles over singular curves

Abstract: A principal Higgs bundle

(P, p h i)

over a singular curve

X

is a pair consisting of a principal bundle

P

and a morphism

p h i : X o e x t A d P o t i m e s O m e g a_{X}^{1}

. We construct the moduli space of principal Higgs G-bundles over an irreducible singular curve

X

using the theory of decorated vector bundles. More precisely, given a faithful representation

h o : G o S l (V)

of

G

, we consider principal Higgs bundles as triples

(E, q, p h i)

where

E

is a vector bundle with

k E = d i m V

over the normalization

x t i l d e

of

X

,

q

is a parabolic structure on

E

and

p h i : E a b o L

is a morphism of bundles, being

L

a line bundle and

E a b d o t e q d o t (E^{o t i m e s a})^{o p l u s b}

a vector bundle depending on the Higgs field

p h i

and on the principal bundle structure. Moreover we show that this moduli space for suitable integers

a, b

is related to the space of framed modules.
