For fibred boundary and fibred cusp metrics, Hausel, Hunsicker, and Mazzeo identified the space of $L^2$ harmonic forms of fixed degree with the images of maps between intersection cohomology groups of an associated stratified space…

In this letter we demonstrate that the intersection form of the Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo compactification of a four dimensional ALF gravitational instanton is definite and diagonalizable over the integers if one of the Kahler forms of the…

Let $\bar{M}$ be a manifold with boundary $Y$ which is the total space of a fibre bundle, and is defined by the vanishing of a boundary defining function, $x$. We prove $L^2$ Hodge and signature theorems for $M$ endowed with a metric of the…

We study the space of square-integrable harmonic forms over ALF gravitational instantons of type $A _{ K -1 } $ and of type $D _K $. We first calculate its dimension making use of a result by Hausel, Hunsicker and Mazzeo which relates the…

We give a topological interpretation of the space of $L^2$-harmonic forms on Manifold with flat ends. It is an answer to an old question of J. Dodziuk. We also give a Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula for the $L^2$-Euler characteristic of some of…

We study homogeneous instantons on the seven dimensional Stiefel manifold V in the context of $G_2$ and Sasakian geometry. According to the reductive decomposition of V we provide an explicit description of all invariant $G_2$ and Sasakian…

We study the instanton contributions of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory and propose that the instanton moduli space is mapped to the moduli space of punctured spheres. Due to the recursive structure of the boundary in the…

Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various…

In this article, we consider $L^{2}$ harmonic forms on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold $X$ with a nonzero parallel form $\omega$. The main result is that if $(X,\omega)$ is a complete $G_{2}$- ( or $Spin(7)$-) manifold with a…

In this note we address the problem of finding Abelian instantons of finite energy on the Euclidean Schwarzschild manifold. This amounts to construct self-dual L^2 harmonic 2-forms on the space. Gibbons found a non-topological L^2 harmonic…

On a smoothly stratified space, we identify intersection cohomology of any given perversity with an associated weighted $L^2$ cohomology for iterated fibred cusp metrics on the smooth stratum. In particular given a Witt space, we identify…

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform…

Given a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology theory, the method of intersection spaces assigns to certain oriented stratified spaces cell complexes whose ordinary reduced homology with real coefficients satisfies…

We construct Witten instanton complexes for K\"ahler Hamiltonian Morse functions on stratified pseudomanifolds with wedge K\"ahler metrics satisfying a local conformally totally geodesic condition. We use this to extend Witten's holomorphic…

In this paper, we investigate the $L^2$-Dolbeault cohomology of the symmetric power of cotangent bundles of ball quotients with finite volume, as well as their toroidal compactification. Through the application of Hodge theory for complete…

Motivated by the work of Cappell, Deturck, Gluch and Miller, we extend the notion of cohomology of harmonic forms (of a compact manifold with boundary) to the abstract setting of Hilbert complexes. Then, we present some geometric…

We obtain a topological interpretation for the space of $L^2$ harmonic forms for some complete Riemannian manifold : when the geometry at infinity is the geometry of a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, when the geometry at infinity is a…

This note proves combinatorially that the intersection pairing on the middle dimensional compactly supported cohomology of a smooth toric hyperkaehler variety is always definite, providing a large number of non-trivial L^2 harmonic forms…

Using instanton homology with coefficients in $Z/2$ we construct a homomorphism $q_2$ from the homology cobordism group in dimension 3 to the integers which is not a rational linear combination of the instanton $h$--invariant and the…
