 :The moduli space of semistable holomorphic vector bundles over a compact Riemann surface is a well-studied object in algebraic geometry. The seminal paper of Atiyah and Bott introduced a new differential geometry method for computing the cohomology of this space: the equivariant Morse theory of the Yang-Mills functional. In the case where the rank and degree of the bundle are coprime, currently there is a complete description of the cohomology of this moduli space. Recently, Wilkin developed an equivariant Morse theory on the (singular) space of Higgs bundles and successfully computed the equivariant Betti numbers of the space of semistable rank two degree zero Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface. In this talk we will review the equivariant Morse theory of the Yang-Mills functional introduced by Atiyah and Bott and its generalization developed by Wilkin in the case of Higgs bundles. Then we will discuss related problems, especially our work on equivariant Morse theory of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional.
