D ec 1 99 7 SIMPLE TYPE IS NOT A BOUNDARY PHENOMENON by
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an expository article, explaining recent work by D. Groisser and myself [GS] on the extent to which the boundary region of moduli space contributes to the “simple type” condition of Donaldson theory. The presentation is intended to complement [GS], presenting the essential ideas rather than the analytical details. It is shown that the boundary region of moduli space contributes 6/64 of the homology required for simple type, regardless of the topology or geometry of the underlying 4-manifold. The simple type condition thus reduces to a statement about the interior of moduli space, namely that the interior of the k+ 1st ASD moduli space, intersected with two representatives of (4 times) the point class, be homologous to 58 copies of the k-th moduli space. This is peculiar, since the only known embeddings of the k-th moduli space into the k+1st involve Taubes patching, and the image of such an embedding lies entirely in the boundary region.

The Coulomb-gas description of minimal models is considered on the half plane. Screening prescriptions are developed by the perturbative expansion of the Liouville theory with imaginary coupling and with Neumann boundary condition on the bosonic field. To generate the conformal blocks of more general boundary conditions, we propose the insertion of boundary operations.

One-dimensional δ ′ -function potential is discussed in the framework of Green’s function formalism without invoking perturbation expansion. It is shown that the energy-dependent Green’s function for this case is crucially dependent on the boundary conditions which are provided by self-adjoint extension method. The most general Green’s function which contains four real self-adjoint extension pa...
