L^2 cohomology of hyperk\"ahler quotients

Differential Geometry 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

A result of Jost and Zuo is used to show that for a large class of finite-dimensional hyperk\"ahler quotients, the only L2 harmonic forms lie in the middle dimension, and are of type (k,k) with respect to all complex structures. The argument is extended to some moduli spaces which appear as infinite-dimensional quotients such as Higgs bundle and SU(2) monopole moduli spaces. In the latter case we recover some of the S-duality predictions of Sen.
