Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a field of characteristic zero and let $D$ be a non-empty set of rational points of $X$. We calculate the motivic classes of moduli stacks of semistable parabolic bundles with connections on $(X,D)$ and motivic classes of moduli stacks of semistable parabolic Higgs bundles on $(X,D)$. As a by-product we give a criteria for non-emptiness of these moduli stacks, which can be viewed as a version of the Deligne-Simpson problem.

Let X be a smooth projective curve over a field of characteristic zero. We calculate the motivic class of the moduli stack of semistable Higgs bundles on X. We also calculate the motivic class of the moduli stack of vector bundles with connections by showing that it is equal to the class of the stack of semistable Higgs bundles of the same rank and degree zero. We follow the strategy of Mozgovoy and Schiffmann for counting Higgs bundles over finite fields. The main new ingredient is a motivic version of a theorem of Harder about Eisenstein series claiming that all vector bundles have approximately the same motivic class of Borel reductions as the degree of Borel reduction tends to $-\infty$., Comment: Minor corrections and improvements; 48 pages

The purpose of this note is to extend Beilinson and Drinfeld's "very good" property to moduli stacks of parabolic vector bundles on curves of genuses $g = 0$ and $g = 1$. Beilinson and Drinfeld show that for $g > 1$ a trivial parabolic structure is sufficient for the moduli stacks to be "very good". We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the parabolic structure for this property to hold in the case of lower genus., arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1310.1144

In “Quantization of Hitchin’s Integrable System and Hecke Eigensheaves”, Beilinson and Drinfeld introduced the “very good” property for a smooth complex equidimensional stack. They prove that for a semisimple group G over \(\mathbb{C}\), the moduli stack Bun G (X) of G-bundles over a smooth complex projective curve X is “very good”, as long as X has genus g > 1. In the case of the projective line, when g = 0, this is not the case. However, the result can sometimes be extended to the projective line and reductive group \(G =\mathrm{ GL}(n, \mathbb{C})\), by introducing additional parabolic structure at a collection of marked points and slightly modifying the definition of a “very good” stack. Using the modified definition, we provide a sufficient condition for the moduli stack of parabolic vector bundles over \(\mathbb{P}^{1}\) to be very good, and use this property to study the space of solutions to the additive Deligne–Simpson problem.
