Given a smooth foliation on a closed manifold, basic forms are differential forms that can be expressed locally in terms of the transverse variables. The space of basic forms yields a differential complex, because the exterior derivative…

In this paper, as a step towards a unified mathematical treatment of the gauge functionals from quantum field theory that have found profound applications in mathematics, we generalize the Seiberg-Witten functional that in particular…

We develop the Seiberg-Witten map using the gauge-covariant star product with the noncommutativity tensor $\theta^{\mu\nu}(x)$. The latter guarantees the Lorentz invariance of the theory. The usual form of this map and its other recent…

We consider invariant covariant derivatives on reductive homogeneous spaces corresponding to the well-known invariant affine connections. These invariant covariant derivatives are expressed in terms of horizontally lifted vector fields on…

We consider several differential-topological invariants of compact 4-manifolds which directly arise from Riemannian variational problems. Using recent results of Bauer and Furuta, we compute these invariants in many cases that were…

The paper contains a talk given by the author at the Banach Center in Spring 1995. It recapitulates author's approach to construction of topological invariants of the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten type of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds in the…

In this paper we consider twice-dimensionally reduced, generalized Seiberg-Witten equations, defined on a compact Riemann surface. A novel feature of the reduction technique is that the resulting equations produce an extra "Higgs field".…

We show that the KZ system has a purely topological interpretation in the sense that it may be understood as a variation of complex mixed Hodge structure whose successive pure weight quotients are polarized. This in a sense completes and…

This is a continuation of our paper math.AG/0111298. We prove an explicit formula for the geometric genus p_g of a quasihomogeneous isolated surface singularity in terms of the Seiberg-Witten invariant of the link and other topological data…

We construct covariant coordinate transformations on the fuzzy sphere and utilize these to construct a covariant map from a gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere to a gauge theory on the ordinary sphere. We show that this construction coincides…

We discuss some exact Seiberg--Witten-type maps for noncommutative electrodynamics. Their implications for anomalies in different (noncommutative and commutative) descriptions are also analysed.

Hitchin pairs on Riemann surfaces are generalizations of Higgs bundles, allowing the Higgs field to be twisted by an arbitrary line bundle. We consider this generalization in the context of $G$-Higgs bundles for a real reductive Lie group…

This short note is devoted to the study of $G$-Higgs bundles twisted by a central gerbe. These objects arise naturally in the decomposition of the inertia stacks of $G$-Higgs bundles in terms of coendoscopic data. We establish that…

Pour tout sch\'ema simplicial complexe $X_{\bullet}$ il existe une application canonique $\nabla:H^{\ast}(X_{\bullet})\longrightarrow \Omega^1_{{\mathbb C}/{\mathbb Q}}\otimes H^{\ast}(X_{\bullet})$, appel\'ee la connexion de Gau\ss-Manin.…

In this paper we study differentiability properties of the map $T\mapsto\phi(T)$, where $\phi$ is a given function in the disk-algebra and $T$ ranges over the set of contractions on Hilbert space. We obtain sharp conditions (in terms of…

In this paper we introduce invariants of semi-free Hamiltonian actions of $S\sp 1$ on compact symplectic manifolds (which satisfy some technical conditions related to positivity) using the space of solutions to certain gauge theoretical…

We are interested in studying the variation of the Hitchin fibration in moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles, under the action of a ramified covering. Given a degree two map $\pi$ : Y $\rightarrow$ X between compact Riemann surfaces, we…

We describe an effective algorithm for computing Seiberg-Witen invariants of lens spaces. We apply it to two problems: (i) to compute the Froyshov invariants of a large family of lens spaces; (ii) to show that the knowledge of the…

In this paper, we explore the structure of the Hitchin morphism for higher dimensional varieties. We show that the Hitchin morphism factors through a closed subscheme of the Hitchin base, which is in general a non-linear subspace of lower…

Seiberg-Witten theory is used to obtain new obstructions to the existence of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds with conical singularities along an embedded surface. In the present article, the cone angle is required to be of the form 2(pi)/p,…
