A virtual structure for symplectic Higgs bundles
Abstract
We define a perfect obstruction theory for a moduli of symplectic Higgs sheaves (E,φ) on projective surfaces S. Key to this is a minimality assumption on ch(E) that forces all E to be locally free. This might have implications to define a virtual count and Sp(r)-Vafa-Witten invariants.
