Global Existence for the Seiberg-Witten Flow

Differential Geometry 2015-03-13 v6

Abstract

We introduce the gradient flow of the Seiberg-Witten functional on a compact, orientable Riemannian 4-manifold and show the global existence of a unique smooth solution to the flow. The flow converges uniquely in CC^\infty up to gauge to a critical point of the Seiberg-Witten functional.
