Hyperbolic Manifolds, Harmonic Forms, and Seiberg-Witten Invariants
نویسنده
چکیده
New estimates are derived concerning the behavior of self-dual hamonic 2-forms on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold with non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariants. Applications include a vanishing theorem for certain Seiberg-Witten invariants on compact 4-manifolds of constant negative sectional curvature.

Higgs Bundles and Four Manifolds
It is known that the Seiberg-Witten invariants, derived from supersymmetric Yang-Mill theories in four-dimensions, do not distinguish smooth structure of certain non-simply-connected four manifolds. We propose generalizations of Donaldson-Witten and Vafa-Witten theories on a Kähler manifold based on Higgs Bundles. We showed, in particular, that the partition function of our generalized Vafa-Wit...
متن کاملOn Products of Harmonic Forms
We prove that manifolds admitting a Riemannian metric for which products of harmonic forms are harmonic satisfy strong topological restrictions, some of which are akin to properties of flat manifolds. Others are more subtle, and are related to symplectic geometry and Seiberg-Witten theory. We also prove that a manifold admits a metric with harmonic forms whose product is not harmonic if and onl...

of the Dissertation Applications of the Seiberg-Witten equations to the Differential Geometry of non-compact Kähler manifolds by Ilya Elson Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Stony Brook University 2014 Soon after the introduction of the Seiberg-Witten equations, and their magnificent application to the differential topology of 4manifolds, LeBrun [LeB95a] used these equations to study differen...
متن کاملSeiberg Witten Invariants and Uniformizations
We study the Seiberg Witten equations and its applications in uniformization problems. First, we show that KK ahler surfaces covered by product of disks can be characterized using negative Seiberg Witten invariant. Second, we shall use Seiberg Witten equations to construct projectively at U(2; 1) connections on Einstein manifolds and uniformize those with optimal Chern numbers. Third, we study ...
متن کاملIntersection theory of coassociative submanifolds in G2-manifolds and Seiberg-Witten invariants
We study the problem of counting instantons with coassociative boundary condition in (almost) G2-manifolds. This is analog to the open GromovWitten theory for counting holomorphic curves with Lagrangian boundary condition in Calabi-Yau manifolds. We explain its relationship with the Seiberg-Witten invariants for coassociative submanifolds. Intersection theory of Lagrangian submanifolds is an es...
