Non - Abelian Monopoles on Four - Manifolds

چکیده
We present a non-abelian generalization of Witten monopole equations and we analyze the associated moduli problem, which can be regarded as a generalization of Donaldson theory. The moduli space of solutions for SU(2) monopoles on Kähler manifolds is discussed. We also construct, using the Mathai-Quillen formalism, the topological quantum field theory corresponding to the new moduli problem. This theory involves the coupling of topological Yang-Mills theory to topological matter in four dimensions.

G2-monopoles with singularities (examples)
G2-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations onG2-manifolds. If the G2-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible G2-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities G2-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompact case) of non-Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities, and examples of monopoles wh...
متن کاملTwisted N = 2 Supersymmetry with Central Charge and Equivariant Cohomology
We present an equivariant extension of the Thom form with respect to a vector field action, in the framework of the Mathai-Quillen formalism. The associated Topological Quantum Field Theories correspond to twisted N = 2 supersymmetric theories with a central charge. We analyze in detail two different cases: topological sigma models and non-abelian monopoles on four-manifolds.
متن کاملGeneralized Dirac monopoles in non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories
A method is proposed for generalizing the Euclidean Taub-NUT space, regarded as the appropriate background of the Dirac magnetic monopole, to non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories involving potentials of generalized monopoles. Usual geometrical methods combined with a recent theory of the induced representations governing the TaubNUT isometries lead to a general conjecture where the potentials of t...
متن کاملMonopoles and Four-manifolds
Recent developments in the understanding of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions suggest a new point of view about Donaldson theory of four manifolds: instead of defining four-manifold invariants by counting SU(2) instantons, one can define equivalent four-manifold invariants by counting solutions of a non-linear equation with an abelian gauge group. This is a “dual” equati...
متن کاملNew hyperkähler manifolds by fixing monopoles
The construction of new hyperkähler manifolds by taking the infinite monopole mass limit of certain BPS monopole moduli spaces is considered. The one-parameter family of hyperkähler manifolds due to Dancer is shown to be an example of such manifolds. A new family of fixed monopole spaces is constructed. They are the moduli spaces of four SU4 monopoles, in the infinite mass limit of two of the m...
