Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold and $\{\phi_h\}$ an $L^2$-normalized sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions, $-h^2\Delta_g\phi_h=\phi_h$. Given a smooth submanifold $H \subset M$ of codimension $k\geq 1$, we find conditions…

For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…
