Bott–Thom isomorphism, Hopf bundles and Morse theory

چکیده
Based on Morse theory for the energy functional path spaces we develop a deformation mapping of spheres into orthogonal groups. This is used to show that these are weakly homotopy equivalent, in stable range, associated Clifford representations. Given an oriented Euclidean bundle $V \to X$ rank divisible by four over finite complex $X$ derive decomposition result vector bundles sphere $\mathord{\mathbb S}( \mathbb{R} \oplus V)$ terms and module $X$. After passing topological K-theory results imply classical Bott-Thom isomorphism theorems.

Morse Theory and Hyperkähler Kirwan Surjectivity for Higgs Bundles
This paper uses Morse-theoretic techniques to compute the equivariant Betti numbers of the space of semistable rank two degree zero Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface, a method in the spirit of Atiyah and Bott’s original approach for semistable holomorphic bundles. This leads to a natural proof that the hyperkähler Kirwan map is surjective for the non-fixed determinant case. CONTENTS
متن کاملMorse Theory for the Space of Higgs Bundles
Here we prove the necessary analytic results to construct a Morse theory for the YangMills-Higgs functional on the space of Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface. The main result is that the gradient flow with initial conditions (A, φ) converges to a critical point of this functional, the isomorphism class of which is given by the graded object associated to the HarderNarasimhan-Seshadri...
متن کاملStable Bundles on Hopf Manifolds
In this paper, we study holomorphic vector bundles on (diagonal) Hopf manifolds. In particular, we give a description of moduli spaces of stable bundles on generic (non-elliptic) Hopf surfaces. We also give a classification of stable rank-2 vector bundles on generic Hopf manifolds of complex dimension greater than two.
متن کاملLinking and Morse Theory
A. In this paper we use Morse theory and the gradient flow of a Morse-Smale function to compute the linking number of a two-component link L in S 3 , by counting the signed number of gradient flow lines passing through each component of L. We will also use three Morse-Smale functions and their gradient flows, to compute Milnor's triple linking number of three-component links by counting ...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and Morse Theory
It is shown that the Morse inequalities can be obtained by consideration of a certain supersymmetric quantum mechanics Hamiltonian. Some of the implications of modern ideas in mathematics for supersymmetric theories are discussed.
