Interests:

My main interests are in non-abelian Hodge theory, opers and geometry of moduli of Higgs bundles. I am also interested in various deformation-theoretic techniques that arise in this context.

The following is a mixture of: 1) Topics that I actively think about 2) Broad interests 3) Ever-expanding wish list:

  • · Moduli of Higgs bundles, the Hitchin system. NAHT and opers.
  • · Special Kähler geometry, mostly on the Hitchin base.

  • · Deformation theory, DGLA's and L-infinity algebras; derived AG
  • · The interplay between NAHT, mirror symmetry, geometric Langlands and S-duality

  • · Holomorphic Poisson geometry and its relation to non-commutative geometry
  • · Generalised Kähler geometry and non-commutative instantons
  • · Springer theory
  • · Special geometries, Hermitian geometry.
