Compacti cation of hyperbolic monopoles

چکیده
We prove that the space of SU(2) hyperbolic monopoles based at the centre of hyperbolic space is homeomorphic to the space of (un-based) rational maps of the two-sphere. The homeomorphism extends to a map of the natural compactiications of the two spaces. We also show that the scattering methods used in the study of monopoles apply to the connguration space for hyperbolic monopoles giving a homo-topy equivalence of this space with the space of continuous self-maps of the two-sphere.

Compactifications of Complete Riemannian Manifolds and Their Applications
To study a noncompact Riemannian manifold, it is often useful to nd a compacti cation or attach a boundary. For example, in hyperbolic geometry a lot of investigation is carried out on the sphere at in nity. An eminent illustration is Mostows proof of his rigidity theorem for hyperbolic manifolds [Mo]. More generally, if f M is simply connected and nonpositively curved, one can compactify it ...
متن کاملOn the Higson-roe Corona
Higson-Roe compacti cations rst arose in connection with C -algebra approaches to index theory on noncompact manifolds. Vanishing and/or equivariant splitting results for the cohomology of these compacti cations imply the integral Novikov Conjecture for fundamental groups of nite aspherical CW complexes. We survey known results on these compacti cations and prove some new results { most notably...
متن کاملString Theory, Matrix Model, and Noncommutative Geometry
Compacti cation of Matrix Model on a Noncommutative torus is obtained from strings ending on D-branes with background B eld. The BPS spectrum of the system and a novel SL(2; Z) symmetry are discussed. Noncommutativity of space-time coordinates emerged in string theory recently in the context of coincident Dbranes [1]; in fact the embedding coordinates of D-branes turned out to be noncommutative...
متن کاملZero and Innnite Curvature Limits of Hyperbolic Monopoles
We show that the zero curvature limit of the space of hyperbolic monopoles gives the Euclidean monopoles, settling a conjecture of Atiyah. We also study the innnite curvature limit of the space of hyperbolic monopoles and show that the associated rational maps appear explicitly here.
متن کاملAsymptotic Values of Hyperbolic Monopoles
We show that many hyperbolic monopoles can be distinguished from each other via their asymptotic values in contrast to the case of Euclidean monopoles.
