Conjecture on non-existence of holomorphic isomonodromic deformations of non-nilpotent Higgs bundles
Let denote the Teichmüller space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus , let be its universal family, and let be the relative Dolbeault moduli space parameterizing polystable -Higgs bundles. A Higgs bundle in this moduli space is non-nilpotent when its Higgs field is not nilpotent. Non-existence conjecture. For a non-nilpotent Higgs bundle in , its isomonodromic deformation fails to be holomorphic over . This conjecture is motivated by the preceding non-existence theorems for generic Higgs bundles and for low-rank non-unitary Higgs bundles; the general non-nilpotent case remains open.
