Abstract

Let V be an asymptotically cylindrical Kahler manifold with asymptotic cross-section \(\mathfrak{D}\). Let (\(E_{\mathfrak{D}},\phi_{\mathfrak{D}}\)) be a stable Higgs bundle over \(\mathfrak{D}\), and (E, ε) a Higgs bundle over V which is asymptotic to (\(E_{\mathfrak{D}},\phi_{\mathfrak{D}}\)). In this paper, using the continuity method of Uhlenbeck and Yau, we prove that there exists an asymptotically translation-invariant projectively Hermitian Yang-Mills metric on (E,ε).
