We define functionals generalising the Seiberg-Witten functional on closed $spin^c$ manifolds, involving higher order derivatives of the curvature form and spinor field. We then consider their associated gradient flows and, using a gauge…

Using lattice homology, we give an explicit combinatorial description of the Seiberg-Witten-Floer spectrum $\mathit{SWF}(Y)$ for $Y$ an almost-rational plumbed homology sphere. This class of manifolds includes all Seifert fibered rational…

Witten established correspondence between multiparton amplitudes in four-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauge theory and topological string theory on supertwistor space $CP^{3|4}$. We extend Witten's correspondence to gauge theories…

We show that the decision problem of recognising whether a triangulated 3-manifold admits a Seifert fibered structure with non-empty boundary is in NP. We also show that the problem of producing Seifert data for a triangulation of such a…

We examine orbifolds of the IIB string via gauged supergravity. For the gravity duals of the A_{n-1} quiver gauge theories, we extract the massless degrees of freedom and assemble them into multiplets of N=4 gauged supergravity in five…

We construct new infinite classes of Euclidean supersymmetric solutions of four dimensional minimal gauged supergravity comprising a $U (1) \times U (1)$-invariant asymptotically locally hyperbolic metric on the total space of orbifold line…

To an integral homology 3-sphere $Y$, we assign a well-defined $\Z$-graded (monopole) homology $MH_*(Y, I_{\e}(\T; \e_0))$ whose construction in principle follows from the instanton Floer theory with the dependence of the spectral flow…

In this paper we consider a dimensional reduction of slightly modified Seiberg-Witten equations, the modification being a different choice of the Pauli matrices which go into defining the equations. We get interesting equations with a Higgs…

In this paper, we introduce a framework of $(\alpha,\beta)$-flows on triangulated manifolds with two and three dimensions, which unifies several discrete curvature flows previously defined in the literature.

This is the second part of the proof of the exact traiangles in Seiberg-Witten Floer theory. We analyse the splitting and gluing of flow lines of the Chern-Simons-Dirac functional when the underlying three-manifold splits along a torus.…

When the Seiberg-Witten curve of a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory wraps a Riemann surface as a multi-sheeted cover, a topological constraint requires that in general the curve should develop ramification…

The confinement scenario in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory at the monopole point is reviewed. Basic features of this U(1) confinement are contrasted with those we expect in QCD. In particular, extra states in the hadron spectrum and…

We construct the Seiberg-Witten curve for the E-string theory in six-dimensions. The curve is expressed in terms of affine E_8 characters up to level 6 and is determined by using the mirror-type transformation so that it reproduces the…

Duality between N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories(Seiberg's duality) is geometrized, in the framework of AdS/CFT correspodences. It is shown that Seiberg's duality corresponds to monodromy of wrapped D5 branes on the homology cycles of a…

We compute, with Symplectic Field Theory techniques, the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line with orbifold points. A natural subclass of these orbifolds, the ones with polynomial quantum cohomology, gives rise to a family of…

We give a pedagogical account of noncommutative gauge and gravity theories, where the exterior product between forms is deformed into a $\star$-product via an abelian twist (e.g. the Groenewold-Moyal twist). The Seiberg-Witten map between…

We study globally supersymmetric 3d gauge theories on curved manifolds by describing the coupling of 3d topological gauge theories, with both Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons terms in the action, to background topological gravity. In our…

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…

This article proves a uniform exponential decay estimate for Seiberg-Witten equations on non-compact 4-manifolds with exact symplectic ends of bounded geometry. This is an extension of the analysis for asymptotically flat almost K\"ahler…

We establish an inequality which gives strong restrictions on when the standard definite plumbing intersection lattice of a Seifert fibered space over $S^2$ can embed into a standard diagonal lattice, and give two applications. First, we…
