Higgs bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a notion of Higgs bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. We establish a version of the BNR correspondence, which relates Higgs bundles to line bundles on suitable curves. We then describe an action of a Picard stack on the moduli stack of Higgs bundles and show that, modulo this action, there is a natural injective map of étale-stacks from the product of $B_{dR}^+$-affine Springer fibers to the Hitchin fiber that induces an equivalence of categories on every geometric point. Finally, we discuss connections with number-theoretic objects.
