相关论文: An SO(3)-version of 2-torsion instanton invariants

Using earlier work of S\'a Earp and the author [SEW13] we construct an irreducible unobstructed $G_2$-instanton on an $\mathrm{SO}(3)$-bundle over a twisted connected sum recently discovered by Crowley-Nordstr\"om [CN14].

The main result of this paper is a formula for calculating the Seiberg-Witten invariants of 4-manifolds with fixed-point free circle actions. This is done by showing under suitable conditions the existence of a diffeomorphism between the…

We construct a variant of Floer homology groups and prove a gluing formula for a variant of Donaldson invariants. As a corollary, the variant of Donaldson invariants is non-trivial for connected sums of 4-manifolds which satisfy a condition…

By methods similar to those used by Lisa Jeffrey, we compute the quantum $\mathrm{SU}(N)$-invariants for mapping tori of trace $2$ homeomorphisms of a genus $1$ surface when $N = 2,3$ and discuss their asymptotics. In particular, we obtain…

We show a rigidity theorem for the Seiberg-Witten invariants mod 2 for families of spin 4-manifolds. A mechanism of this rigidity theorem also gives a family version of 10/8-type inequality. As an application, we prove the existence of…

For the abelian Chern-Simons field theory, we consider the quantum functional integration over the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes and present an explicit path-integral non-perturbative computation of the Chern-Simons link invariants…

We develop a version of Seiberg--Witten Floer cohomology/homotopy type for a spin$^c$ 4-manifold with boundary and with an involution which reverses the spin$^c$ structure, as well as a version of Floer cohomology/homotopy type for oriented…

We study the Seiberg-Witten invariant $\lambda_{\rm{SW}} (X)$ of smooth spin $4$-manifolds $X$ with integral homology of $S^1\times S^3$ defined by Mrowka, Ruberman, and Saveliev as a signed count of irreducible monopoles amended by an…

By studying the example of smooth structures on CP^2#3(-CP^2) we illustrate how surgery on a single embedded nullhomologous torus can be utilized to change the symplectic structure, the Seiberg-Witten invariant, and hence the smooth…

We construct an obstruction for the existence of embeddings of homology $3$-sphere into homology $S^3\times S^1$ under some cohomological condition. The obstruction is defined as an element in the filtered version of the instanton Floer…

We locally classify all SO(3)-invariant 4-dimensional pseudo-Finsler Berwald structures. These are Finslerian geometries which are closest to (spatially, or SO(3))-spherically symmetric pseudo-Riemannian ones - and serve as ansatz to find…

We show an integrality of the quantum SU(2)-invariant associated with a non-trivial first cohomology class modulo two.

We show that mod $2$ cohomological invariants of the moduli stack $\mathscr{M}_{3,n}$ of smooth pointed curves of genus three contain a free module with generators in degree $0$, $2$, $3$, $4$ and $6$, formed by the invariants of the…

We study the relationship between trivial cocycles on the Torelli group and invariants of oriented integral homology 3-spheres. We give ncecessary and sufficient conditions for a function defined on the union of the Torelli groups to be an…

We study the moduli space of $G_2$-instantons on (projectively) flat bundles over torsion-free $G_2$-orbifolds. We prove that the moduli space is compact and smooth at the irreducible locus after adding small and generic holonomy…

We derive a simple closed formula for the SL(2,C) Casson invariant for Seifert fibered homology 3-spheres using the correspondence between SL(2,C) character varieties and moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two. These results…

We study the boundary behavior of the invariant of $K3^{[2]}$-type manifolds with antisymplectic involution, which we obtained using equivariant analytic torsion. We show the algebraicity of the singularity of the invariant by using the…

In this paper, we construct an invariant for irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds of $K3^{[2]}$-type with antisymplectic involution by using the equivariant analytic torsion. Moreover, we give a formula for the complex Hessian of…

We show how the families Seiberg-Witten invariants of a family of smooth $4$-manifolds can be recovered from the families Bauer-Furuta invariant via a cohomological formula. We use this formula to deduce several properties of the families…

Motivated by newly discovered properties of instantons on non-compact spaces, we realised that certain analytic invariants of vector bundles detect fine geometric properties. We present numerical algorithms, implemented in Macaulay 2, to…
