Dirac Operator Coupled to Instantons on Positive Definite 4 Manifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the moduli space of instantons on a simply connected positive definite four manifold by analyzing the classifying map of the index bundle of a family of Dirac operators parametrized by the moduli space. As applications we compute the cohomology ring for the charge 2 moduli space in the rank stable limit.

The Dirac Operator on Lorentzian Spin Manifolds and the Huygens Property
We consider the Dirac operator D of a Lorentzian spin manifold of even dimension n 4. We prove, that the square D 2 of the Dirac operator on plane wave manifolds and the shifted operator D 2 ? K on Lorentzian space forms of constant sectional curvature K are of Huygens type. Furthermore, we study the Huygens property for coupled Dirac operators on 4-dimensional Lorentzian spin manifolds.
متن کاملDirac operators on manifolds with periodic ends
This paper studies Dirac operators on end-periodic spin manifolds of dimension at least 4. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such an operator to be Fredholm for a generic end-periodic metric. We make use of end-periodic Dirac operators to give an analytical interpretation of an invariant of non-orientable smooth 4-manifolds due to Cappell and Shaneson. From this interpretation...
متن کاملInstantons and the information metric
The information metric arises in statistics as a natural inner product on a space of probability distributions. In general this inner product is positive semi-definite but is potentially degenerate. By associating to an instanton its energy density, we can examine the information metric g on the moduli spaces M of self-dual connections over Riemannian 4-manifolds. Compared with the more widely ...
متن کاملRank Stable Instantons over Positive Definite Four Manifolds
We study the moduli space of rank stable based instantons over a connected sum of q copies of CP. For c2 = 1 we give the homotopy type of the moduli space. For c2 = 2 we compute the cohomology of the moduli space.
متن کاملThe First Dirac Eigenvalue on Manifolds with Positive Scalar Curvature
We show that on every compact spin manifold admitting a Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature Friedrich’s eigenvalue estimate for the Dirac operator can be made sharp up to an arbitrarily small given error by choosing the metric suitably.
