We describe the reduction from four to two dimensions of the SU(2) Donaldson-Witten theory and the dual twisted Seiberg-Witten theory, i.e. the Abelian topological field theory corresponding to the Seiberg--Witten monopole equations.
By considering a (partial) topological twisting of supersymmetric Yang-Mills compactified on a 2d space with `t Hooft magnetic flux turned on we obtain a supersymmetric $\sigma$-model in 2 dimensions. For N=2 SYM this maps Donaldson…
Integral formulae for foliated Riemannian manifolds provide obstructions for existence of foliations or compact leaves of them with given geometric properties. This paper continues our recent study and presents new integral formulae and…
We describe an interpretation of the Kervaire invariant of a Riemannian manifold of dimension $4k+2$ in terms of a holomorphic line bundle on the abelian variety $H^{2k+1}(M)\otimes R/Z$. Our results are inspired by work of Witten on the…
We prove an analogue of the Kotschick-Morgan conjecture in the context of SO(3) monopoles, obtaining a formula relating the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds using the SO(3)-monopole cobordism. The main…
This paper is a continuation of author's previous work arXiv:1911.07949, where we defined Donaldson-Thomas invariants of quantum Fermat threefolds. In this paper, we study the generic quantum Fermat threefold. We give explicit local models…
We prove that the higher harmonic signature of an even dimensional oriented Riemannian foliation of a compact Riemannian manifold with coefficients in a leafwise U(p,q)-flat complex bundle is a leafwise homotopy invariant. We also prove the…
In 1983, Donaldson shocked the topology world by using instantons from physics to prove new theorems about four-dimensional manifolds, and he developed new topological invariants. In 1988, Witten showed how these invariants could be…
Topology of Liouville foliations for an analogue of the Kovalevskaya integrable case on Lie algebra so(4) is discussed. Fomenko-Zieschang invariants (i.e. marked molecules) were calculated for these foliations on every regular isoenergy…
We study the Riemann-Hilbert problems associated to the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the resolved conifold. We give explicit solutions in terms of the Barnes double and triple sine functions. We show that the corresponding tau function is a…
We solve the part of the Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds which comes from super-rigid rational curves. As an application, we prove a version of the conjectural Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence for contributions…
For a smooth projective toric surface we determine the Donaldson invariants and their wallcrossing in terms of the Nekrasov partition function. Using the solution of the Nekrasov conjecture math.AG/0306198, hep-th/0306238, math.AG/0409441…
Some aspects of the multidimensional soliton geometry are considered. The relation between soliton equations in 2+1 dimensions and the Self-Dual Yang-Mills and Bogomolny equations are discussed.
We derive a tensorial formula for a fourth-order conformally invariant differential operator on conformal 4-manifolds. This operator is applied to algebraic Weyl tensor densities of a certain conformal weight, and takes its values in…
Geometric conditions are given so that the leafwise reduced cohomology is of infinite dimension, specially for foliations with dense leaves on closed manifolds. The main new definition involved is the intersection number of subfoliations…
We study the moduli space of $SU(4)$ invariant BPS conditions in supersymmetric gauge theory on non-commutative ${\mathbb C}^4$ by means of an ADHM-like quiver construction and we classify the invariant solutions under the natural toric…
We obtain a classification of codimension one holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb P^4$ with degenerate Gauss maps.
We investigate the realisability of the Casson-Sullivan invariant for homeomorphisms of smooth $4$-manifolds, which is the obstruction to a homeomorphism being stably pseudo-isotopic to a diffeomorphism, valued in the third cohomology of…
We prove that the examples by Smith and McMullen-Taubes provide infinitely many counterexamples to one direction of Donaldson's 4-6 question and the closely related Stabilising Conjecture. These are the first known counterexamples. In the…
Let $X$ be a closed, oriented four-manifold containing an embedded sphere with self-intersection number $(-1)$. Suppose that $b_2^+(X) \leq 3$. We show that there exists a Riemannian metric on $X$ such that the cohomology class dual to this…
