Logarithmic co-Higgs bundles

Abstract

In this article we introduce a notion of logarithmic co-Higgs sheaves associated to a simple normal crossing divisor on a projective manifold, and show their existence with nilpotent co-Higgs fields for fixed ranks and second Chern classes. Then we deal with various moduli problems with logarithmic co-Higgs sheaves involved, such as coherent systems and holomorphic triples, specially over algebraic curves of low genus.
