The Seiberg-Witten equations are defined on certain complex line bundles over smooth oriented four manifolds. When the base manifold is a complex Kahler surface, the Seiberg-Witten equations are essentially the Abelian vortex equations. Using known non-abelian generalizations of the vortex equations as a guide, we expl…

As is well-known, the Witten deformation of the De Rham complex computes the De Rham cohomology. In this paper we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold and restrict it to differential forms which behave polynomially near infinity. Such polynomial differential forms naturally appear on manifolds with a c…

For a complex projective manifold Gromov-Witten invariants can be constructed either algebraically or symplectically.

A similar stat…

We treat the Witten operator on the de Rham complex with semiclassical heat kernel methods to derive the Poincaré-Hopf theorem and degenerate generalizations of it.
