Abstract

For a complex manifold X which has a holomorphic form ϖ of odd degree k , we endow E a =⊕ p≥ a Λ ( p,0) ( X) with a Higgs bundle structure θ given by θ( Z)( φ):={ i( Z) ϖ}∧ φ . The properties such as curvature and stability of these and other Higgs bundles are examined. We prove (Theorem 2, Section 2, for k>1 ) E a and additional classes of Higgs subbundles of E a do not admit Higgs–Hermitian–Yang–Mills metric in any one of the cases: (i) deg (X)<0 , (ii) deg (X)=0 and a≤ n− k+1 , or (iii) a≤ n− k+1 and k⩾ 1 2 n+1 . We give examples of (noncompact) Kähler manifolds with the above Higgs structure which admit Higgs–Hermitian–Yang–Mills metrics. We also examine vanishing theorems for ( p, q) -forms with values in Higgs bundles.
