Abstract: In this paper we develop some non-abelian Hodge techniques over complex quasi-projective manifolds $X$ in both archimedean and non-archimedean contexts. In the non-archimedean case, we first generalize a theorem by Gromov-Schoen: for any Zariski dense representation $ho:p{i}_1(X)oG(K)$, where $G$ is a semisimple algebraic group defined over some non-archimedean local field $K$, we construct a $ho$-equivariant harmonic map from $X$ into the Bruhat-Tits building $Delta(G)$ of $G$ with some suitable asymptotic behavior. We then construct logarithmic symmetric differential forms over $X$ when the image of such $ho$ is unbounded. Our main result in the archimedean case is that any semisimple representation $sigma:p{i}_1(X)ooperatorname{GL}_N(mathbbC)$ is rigid provided that $X$ does not admit logarithmic symmetric differential forms. Furthermore, such representation $sigma$ is conjugate to $sigm{a}^{\prime }:p{i}_1(X)ooperatorname{GL}_N(mathcal{O}_L)$ where $mathcal{O}_L$ is the ring of integer of some number field $L$, so that $sigm{a}^{\prime }$ is a complex direct factor of a $mathbbZ$-variation of Hodge structures. As an application we prove that a complex quasi-projective manifold $X$ has nonzero global logarithmic symmetric differential forms if there is linear representation $p{i}_1(X)ooperatorname{GL}_N(mathbbC)$ with infinite images.
