Existence of non-trivial monopoles on 3-spheres proven.

We prove the Fredholmness of Dirac operators of monopoles with Dirac-type singularities on oriented complete Riemannian $3$-folds, and we also calculate the $L^2$-indices of them.

Derives a formula for fermion dimensions in spherically symmetric monopole backgrounds.

Singular monopoles are nonabelian monopoles with prescribed Dirac-type singularities. All of them are delivered by the Nahm's construction. In practice, however, the effectiveness of the latter is limited to the cases of one or two singularities. We present an alternative construction of singular monopoles formulated i…

$G_2$-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on $G_2$-manifolds. If the $G_2$-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible $G_2$-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities $G_2$-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompa…

Study of large mass limits of G2 and Calabi-Yau monopoles on specific manifolds.

We develop a method for finding the zero modes of the Dirac operator in the presence of BPS monopoles. We use it to find the zero modes in the case of Abelian BPS monopoles in $\mathbb R^3$.

A quasiclassical method approximates magnetic monopole eigenvalues.

We explain the correspondences between twisted monopoles with Dirac type singularity and polystable twisted mini-holomorphic bundles with Dirac type singularity on a 3-dimensional torus. We also explain that they are equivalent to polystable parabolic twisted difference modules on elliptic curves.

We study singular monopoles on open subsets in the $3$-dimensional Euclidean space. We give two characterizations of Dirac type singularities. One is given in terms of the growth order of the norms of sections which are invariant by the scattering map. The other is given in terms of the growth order of the norms of the…

We construct monopoles in any asymptotically conical (AC) $3$-manifold $X$ with $b^2(X)=0$. For sufficiently large mass, our construction covers an open set in the moduli space of monopoles. We also give a more general construction of Dirac monopoles in any AC manifold, which may be useful for generalizing our result t…

We give a simple proof of weak Unique Continuation Property for perturbed Dirac operators, using the Carleman inequality. We apply the result to a class of perturbations of the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations that arise in Floer theory.

Study Floer theory of hyperbolic three-manifolds using Dirac spectral flow.

We study topological T-duality for spaces with a semi-free $S^1-$action with isolated fixed points. Physically, these correspond to spacetimes containing Kaluza-Klein monopoles. We demonstrate that the physical dyonic coordinate of such spaces has an analogue in our formalism. By analogy with the Dirac monopole, we stu…

In this paper we investigate the relation between complexified Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and spectral network coordinates on Seiberg-Witten moduli space. The main technique is the comparison of exact expressions for the expectation value of 't Hooft defects in certain 4D $SU(2)$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories. We der…

We construct the Nahm transform from finite energy instantons on the product of a real line and a three dimensional torus to Dirac-type singular monopoles on the dual torus. Moreover, we show the correspondence between the data which handle the asymptotic behavior of instantons at infinity and one of monopoles at singu…

We propose a new definition for the abelian magnetic charge density of a non-abelian monopole, based on zero-modes of an associated Dirac operator. Unlike the standard definition of the charge density, this density is smooth in the core of the monopole. We show that this charge density induces a magnetic field whose ex…

Paper studies spectral invariants and monopole Floer homology for rational homology three-spheres.

We prove an analogue of the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence oncompact connected 3-folds that is fibered on orbifold Riemann surfaces and satisfy an integrability condition, which contains compact connected Sasakian 3-folds. We define mini-holomorphic bundles on such 3-folds and the algebraic Dirac-type singularities o…

The paper localizes an index and provides a condition for the orientability of a monopole moduli space.

We call a singularity of a presymplectic form $ω$ removable in its graph if its graph extends to a smooth Dirac structure over the singularity. An example for this is the symplectic form of a magnetic monopole. A criterion for the removability of singularities is given in terms of regularizing functions for pure spinor…

The paper studies Dirac operators on large spectral three-manifolds.

In dimension 7, we establish a Fredholm theory for a Dirac-type operator associated to a connection with point singularities. There are two applications. $1$. over a closed 7-manifold, under some natural conditions, a $G_{2}-$instanton and its point singularities can still be "seen" when the $G_{2}-$structure is proper…

Study of rotation angles in a rotating disc model.

We describe the local conformal geometry of a Lorentzian spin manifold $(M,g)$ admitting a twistor spinor $φ$ with zero. Moreover, we describe the shape of the zero set of $φ$. If $φ$ has isolated zeros then the metric $g$ is locally conformally equivalent to a static monopole. In the other case the zero set consists o…

We discuss $SU(2)$ Bogomolny monopoles of arbitrary charge $k$ invariant under various symmetry groups. The analysis is largely in terms of the spectral curves, the rational maps, and the Nahm equations associated with monopoles. We consider monopoles invariant under inversion in a plane, monopoles with cyclic symmetry…

The study connects monopole chains to Higgs bundles and classifies symmetric chains.

Study on JNR monopoles, focusing on their spectral curves and energy density.

We define and study certain hyperkaehler manifolds which capture the asymptotic behaviour of the SU(2)-monopole metric in regions where monopoles break down into monopoles of lower charges. The rate at which these new metrics approximate the monopole metric is exponential, as for the Gibbons-Manton metric.

We discuss the spectral curves and rational maps associated with $SU(2)$ Bogomolny monopoles of arbitrary charge $k$. We describe the effect on the rational maps of inverting monopoles in the plane with respect to which the rational maps are defined, and discuss the monopoles invariant under such inversion. We define t…

Classifies charge-3 monopoles with symmetry, identifying new spectral curves.

Proves a new skein exact triangle for real monopole Floer homology.

In this paper, we explore the interplay between contact structures and sutured monopole Floer homology. First, we study the behavior of contact elements, which were defined by Baldwin and Sivek, under the operation of performing Floer excisions, which was introduced to the context of sutured monopole Floer homology by …

New gauge condition fixes $L^2$ metric divergence in hyperbolic monopole spaces.

We show that many hyperbolic monopoles can be distinguished from each other via their asymptotic values in contrast to the case of Euclidean monopoles.

$G_2$-Monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on noncompact $7$-manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy. We shall study this equation on the $3$ Bryant-Salamon manifolds. We construct examples of $G_2$-monopoles on two of these manifolds, namely the total space of the bundle of anti-self-dual two forms over the $\ma…

We associate to an SU(2) hyperbolic monopole a holomorphic sphere embedded in projective space and use this to uncover various features of the monopole.

Develops invariants for webs and foams using Seiberg-Witten theory.

On a complete manifold, such as Euclidean 3-space or hyperbolic 3-space, the limit at infinity of the norm of the Higgs field is called the mass of the monopole. We show the existence, on hypebolic 3-space, of monopoles with given magnetic charge and arbitrary mass. Previously, aside from charge one monopoles, existenc…

We construct periodic monopoles (with singularities), i.e. monopoles on $\mathbb{R}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{1}$ possibly singular at a finite collection of points, by gluing methods.

Study monopole h-invariants from a topological viewpoint.

We study periodic monopoles satisfying some mild conditions, called of GCK type. Particularly, we give a classification of periodic monopoles of GCK type in terms of difference modules with parabolic structure, which is a kind of Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence between differential geometric objects and algebraic obje…

In this expository review we discuss various aspects of gauge theory. While the focus is on mathematics, wherever possible we make contact with theoretical high energy physics. Particular emphasis is placed on instantons and monopoles, which admit physical interpretation, and yield interesting and nontrivial mathematic…
