Simpson correspondence
In algebraic geometry, the Nonabelian Hodge correspondence or Corlette–Simpson correspondence (named after Kevin Corlette and Carlos Simpson) is a correspondence between Higgs bundles and representations of the fundamental group of a smooth, complex algebraic curve.
Unitary representations
For a compact Riemann surface X of genus at least 2, M. S. Narasimhan and C. S. Seshadri established a bijection between irreducible unitary representations of [math]\displaystyle{ \pi_1(X) }[/math] and the isomorphism classes of stable vector bundles of degree 0.[1] This was then extended to arbitrary complex smooth projective varieties by Karen Uhlenbeck and Shing-Tung Yau, and by Simon Donaldson.[2]
Arbitrary representations
These results were extended to arbitrary rank two complex representations of fundamental groups of curves by Nigel Hitchin[3] and Donaldson[4] and then in arbitrary dimension by Corlette[5] and Simpson,[6][7] who established an equivalence of categories between the finite-dimensional complex representations of the fundamental group and the semi-stable Higgs bundles whose Chern class is zero.
