Integrable (2k)-Dimensional Hitchin Equations (2016)
Journal Article
Ward, R. (2016). Integrable (2k)-Dimensional Hitchin Equations. Letters in Mathematical Physics, 106(7), 951-958. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11005-016-0849-3

This letter describes a completely integrable system of Yang–Mills–Higgs equations which generalizes the Hitchin equations on a Riemann surface to arbitrary k-dimensional complex manifolds. The system arises as a dimensional reduction of a set of int... Read More about Integrable (2k)-Dimensional Hitchin Equations.

Symmetric Instantons and Discrete Hitchin Equations (2016)
Journal Article
Ward, R. (2016). Symmetric Instantons and Discrete Hitchin Equations. Journal of Integrable Systems, 1(1), Article xyw001. https://doi.org/10.1093/integr/xyw001

Self-dual Yang–Mills instantons on correspond to algebraic ADHM data. The ADHM equations for [Math Processing Error]-symmetric instantons give a one-dimensional integrable lattice system, which may be viewed as an discretization of the Nahm equations...

Geometry of Solutions of Hitchin Equations on R^2 (2016)
Journal Article
Ward, R. (2016). Geometry of Solutions of Hitchin Equations on R^2. Nonlinearity, 29(3), Article 756. https://doi.org/10.1088/0951-7715/29/3/756

We study smooth SU(2) solutions of the Hitchin equations on ${{\mathbb{R}}^{2}}$ , with the determinant of the complex Higgs field being a polynomial of degree n. When $n\geqslant 3$ , there are moduli spaces of solutions, in the sense that the natur... Read More about Geometry of Solutions of Hitchin Equations on R^2.
