Using the canonical line bundle $K$ and some holomorphic differentials $\\boldsymbol{q}$, Hitchin constructed the $G$-Higgs bundles in the Hitchin section for a split real form $G$ of a complex simple Lie group. We study the ${\\mathrm{SO}_0(n,n)}$ case. In our work, we establish the existence of harmonic metrics for these Higgs bundles, which are compatible with the ${\\mathrm{SO}_0(n,n)}$-structure for any non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surface. Moreover, these harmonic metrics also weakly dominate $h_X$ which is the natural diagonal harmonic metric induced by the unique complete K\\\"ahler hyperbolic metric $g_X$ on $X$. Assuming that these holomorphic differentials are all bounded with respect to the metric $g_X$, we are able to prove the uniqueness of such a harmonic metric.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-17T02:37:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C07", "58E15", "14D21", "81T13" ], "keywords": [ "higgs bundles", "non-compact hyperbolic surfaces", "hitchin section", "complex simple lie group", "non-compact hyperbolic riemann surface" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
