Abstract

We consider the Toda systems of VHS type with singular sources and provide a criterion for the existence of solutions with prescribed asymptotic behaviour near singularities. We also prove the uniqueness of solution. Our approach uses Simpson’s theory of constructing Higgs–Hermitian–Yang–Mills metrics from stability.
