We consider circle bundles over compact three-manifolds with symplectic total spaces. We show that the base of such a space must be irreducible or the product of the two-sphere with the circle. We then deduce that such a bundle admits a…

In this article, an alternative interpretation of the Seiberg-Witten map in non-commutative field theory is provided. We show that the Seiberg-Witten map can be induced in a geometric way, by a field dependent co-ordinate transformation…

This paper studies the behavior of sequences of solutions to Seiberg-Witten like equations for a pair consisting of a Hermitian connection on a line bundle over a 4-dimensional manifold and a section of the self-dual spinor bundle of a…

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,…

We prove that a compact 4-manifold which supports a circle-invariant fat SO(3)-bundle is diffeomorphic to either S^4 or CP^2-bar. The proof involves studying the resulting Hamiltonian circle action on an associated symplectic 6-manifold.…

We construct infinitely many examples of finite volume 4-manifolds with $T^3$ ends that do not admit any cusped asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics yet satisfy a strict logarithmic version of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality due to…

The Seiberg-Witten equation with multiple spinors generalises the classical Seiberg-Witten equation in dimension three. In contrast to the classical case, the moduli space of solutions $\mathcal{M}$ can be non-compact due to the appearance…

We give a surgery formula for the torsions and Seiberg-Witten invariants associated with $Spin^c$-structures on 3-manifolds. We use the technique of Reidemeister-type torsions and their refinements.

We describe a construction of Riemannian metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on a closed smooth nonorientable 4-manifold with fundamental group of order two that realizes a homotopy class that was not previously known to contain…

In an alternative interpretation, the Seiberg-Witten map is shown to be induced by a field dependent co-ordinate transformation connecting noncommutative and ordinary space-times. Furthermore, following our previous ideas, it has been…

We conclude the construction of the algebraic complex, consisting of spaces of differentials of Euclidean metric values, for four-dimensional piecewise-linear manifolds. Assuming that the complex is acyclic, we investigate how its torsion…

A topological quantum field theory is introduced which reproduces the Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. Dimensional reduction of this topological field theory leads to a new one in three dimensions. Its partition function yields…

Symplectic 4-manifolds $(X,\omega)$ with $b_+{=}1$ are roughly classified by the canonical class $K$ and the symplectic form $\omega$ depending upon the sign of $K^2$ and $K\cdot \omega$. Examples are known for each category except for the…

We construct a mathematical framework for twisted N=2 supersymmetric topological quantum field theory on a 4-manifold. Supersymmetry in flat space is defined and the twist homomorphism is constructed, giving us a supermanifold that is the…

Let $Y$ be a closed and oriented $3$-manifold. We define different versions of unfolded Seiberg-Witten Floer spectra for $Y$. These invariants generalize Manolescu's Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum for rational homology $3$-spheres. We also…

This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin-3/2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a non-vanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a…

We present an explicit expression for the topological invariants associated to $SU(2)$ monopoles in the fundamental representation on spin four-manifolds. The computation of these invariants is based on the analysis of their corresponding…

We study relative Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces and define relative invariants for a pair $(X,\Sigma)$ consisting of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold $X$ and a smooth, closed, oriented 2-dimensional submanifold $\Sigma\!\subset\!X$ with…

In this paper we define a new category of almost complex riemannian 4- manifolds and discuss some basic properties of such pseudo symplectic manifolds. Some motivation based on the Seiberg - Witten theory is imposed.

This paper studies symplectic manifolds that admit semi-free circle actions with isolated fixed points. We prove, using results on the Seidel element due to McDuff and Tolman, that the (small) quantum cohomology of a $2n$ dimensional…
