Abstract: We determine the asymptotic behavior in the limit of large Higgs fields of the sectional curvatures of the natural $L^2$ hyperk"ahler metric $G_{L^2}$ of the moduli space $mathcalM$ of rank-$2$ Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface $Sigma$ away from the discriminant locus. It is shown that their leading order part is given by a sum of Dirac type contributions on $Sigma$, for which we find explicit expressions.
