Let us fix a conformal class $[g_0]$ and a spin structure $\sigma$ on a compact manifold $M$. For any $g\in [g_0]$, let $\lambda^+_1(g)$ be the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator $D$ on $(M,g,\sigma)$. In a previous paper we…

For closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension $4$, one can define a transversal Seiberg-Witten map. We show that there is a finite dimensional approximation for such a map. By such a method and under the condition…
