Abstract
These notes are based on lectures given at the Third International School on Geometry and Physics at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona, March 26–30, 2012. The aim of the School’s four lecture series was to give a rapid introduction to Higgs bundles, representation varieties, and mathematical physics. While the scope of these subjects is very broad, that of these notes is far more modest.
