Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n\geq2$, let $\mathfrak{E}=(E,\varphi)$ be a Higgs bundle over $X$ of rank $r\geq2$. Does exists a Higgs quotient sheaf $\mathcal{Q}$ of $\mathfrak{E}$ of rank $p$, for any $p\in\{1,\dotsc,r-1\}$? For clarity: Higgs sheaf $\mathfrak{E...
In mathematics, a Higgs bundle is a pair
(

)
{\displaystyle (E,\varphi )}
consisting of a holomorphic vector bundle E and a Higgs field
φ
{\displaystyle \varphi }
, a holomorphic 1-form taking values in End(E) such that

specific-question I have noticed this question in the HNQ list. It has no top-level tag: Interesting and surprising applications of the Ising Model.

One of the most famous models in physics is the Ising model, invented by Wilhelm Lenz as a PhD problem to his student Ernst Ising. The one-dimensional version of it was solved in Ising's thesis in 1924; later, in 1944, Lars Onsager solved the two-dimensional case in the absense of external magnet...
