We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Arakelov type inequalities for Hodge bundles over algebraic varieties. Part I: Hodge bundles over algebraic curves
Jürgen Jost and Kang Zuo
Abstract
We prove Arakelov inequalities for systems of Hodge bundles over algebraic varieties, generalizing the classical ones for families of semistable curves and abelian varieties. These inequalities are derived from the semistability of an associated Higgs bundle, a consequence of the existence of a Hermitian Yang-Mills metric.
