Abstract

In this note, by using the Yang–Mills–Higgs flow, we show that semistable Higgs bundles with vanishing first and second Chern numbers over compact Kaher manifolds must admit a filtration whose quotients are Hermitian flat Higgs bundles. This generalizes a result of Simpson for compact projective manifolds to the compact Kahler case.
