Recent developments in Seiberg-Witten theory and relations with Complex Geometry.
This expository article introduces the Kapustin-Witten equations to mathematicians. We discuss the connections between the Complex Yang-Mills equations and the Kapustin-Witten equations. In addition, we show the relation between the Kapustin-Witten equations, the moment map condition and the gradient Chern-Simons flow.…
Complex manifolds and their associative submanifolds are studied via Seiberg-Witten equations.
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…
We compute the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces in terms of projective representations of groups. As an application we prove that the complex Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces of positive genus are positive integers.
Computed homology groups of real Grassmann manifold.
We construct a generalized Witten genus for spin manifolds, which takes values in level 1 modular forms with integral Fourier expansion on a class of spin manifolds called string manifolds. We also construct a mod 2 analogue of the Witten genus for dimensional spin manifolds. The Landweber-Stong type…
We provide a differential cocycle model for elliptic cohomology with complex coefficients and use analytic methods to construct a cocycle representative for the Witten class in this language. Our motivation stems from the conjectural connection between 2-dimensional field theories and elliptic cohomology originally due…
New structures derived from equivariant de Rham complex for -action.
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. Using the versions of Gromov-Witten theory by Behrend and Fantechi on the algebraic side and by the author on the symplectic side, we prove that both points of view give the same results. A similar stat…

The paper examines sequences of solutions to Seiberg-Witten systems in 4D manifolds.
Study generalizes Seiberg-Witten equations on hyperKahler manifolds.
A formula is given which computes the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a 3-orbifold from the invariant of the underlying manifold. As an application, we derive a formula for the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a non-Kähler complex surface, which was originally due to O. Biquard \cite{Biq} and S.R. Williams \cite{W} independentl…
In this note, we prove that the Witten genus of nonsingular string complete intersections in product of complex projective spaces vanishes. Our result generalizes a known result of Landweber and Stong (cf. [HBJ]).
The paper constructs instanton complexes on stratified pseudomanifolds.
Paper shows Seiberg-Witten invariants vanish for Davis hyperbolic 4-manifold.
New invariant from Seiberg-Witten equations constrains embedded surfaces.
On a compact oriented four-manifold with an orientation preserving involution c, we count solutions of Seiberg-Witten equations, which are moreover symmetrical in relation to c, to construct "real" Seiberg-Witten invariants. Using Taubes' results, we prove that on a symplectic almost complex manifold with an antisymple…
We propose an explicit formula connecting Donaldson invariants and Seiberg-Witten invariants of a 4-manifold of simple type via Nekrasov's deformed partition function for the N=2 SUSY gauge theory with a single fundamental matter. This formula is derived from Mochizuki's formula, which makes sense and was proved when t…
Analytic realization of Thom-Smale complex for G-manifolds.
Given a smooth compact manifold with boundary, we show that the subcomplex of the deformed de Rham complex consisting of eigenspaces of small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian is canonically isomorphic to the Thom-Smale complex constructed by Laudenbach. Our proof is based on Bismut-Lebeau's analytic localization tec…
Introduces a Morse complex on symplectic manifolds using gradient flows and proves its cohomology is independent of metrics and Morse functions.
Witten deformation connects manifold spectra to Morse functions.
Accurate asymptotic expressions are given for the exponentially small eigenvalues of Witten Laplacians acting on p-forms. The key ingredient, which replaces explicit formulas for global quasimodes in the case p = 0, is Barannikov's presentation of Morse theory.
Computes Seiberg-Witten invariants for Kähler families of 4-manifolds.
This paper explores adiabatic solutions of Haydys-Witten equations for knot homology.
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. Thereby, we see how the semiclassical asymptotics of the Witten heat kernel are related to approaches using the Thom form of Mathai and Quillen.

Machine learning classifies complex geometric patterns with high accuracy.
The main result is a version of Morse inequalities for the minimum and maximum ideal boundary conditions of the de Rham complex on strata of compact Thom-Mather stratifications, endowed with adapted metrics. An adaptation of the analytic method of Witten is used in the proof, as well as certain perturbation of the harm…
Wedge product on deRham complex of a Riemannian manifold can be pulled back to via explicit homotopy, constructed using Green's operator, to give higher product structures. We prove Fukaya's conjecture which suggests that Witten deformation of these higher product structures have semiclassical limits as op…
New examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds where Seiberg-Witten equations fail.
Let a compact connected orientable 4-manifold. We study the space of -structures of fixed fundamental class, as an infinite dimensional principal bundle on the manifold of riemannian metrics on . In order to study perturbations of the metric in Seiberg-Witten equations, we study the transversality of…
The paper presents a chain complex for 3-manifold covers, including surface bundles and surgeries.
We give a direct calculation of the curvature of the Hitchin connection, in geometric quantization on a symplectic manifold, using only differential geometric techniques. In particular, we establish that the curvature acts as a first-order operator on the quantum spaces. Projective flatness follows if the Kähler struct…
The main result of this paper asserts that if a Seifert fibered 4-manifold has nonzero Seiberg-Witten invariant, the homotopy class of regular fibers has infinite order. This is a nontrivial obstruction to smooth circle actions; as applications, we show how to destroy smooth circle actions on a 4-manifold by knot surge…
We prove that every Einstein metric on the unit ball B^4 of C^2, asymptotic to the Bergman metric, is equal to it up to a diffeomorphism. We need a solution of Seiberg--Witten equations in this infinite volume setting. Therefore, and more generally, if M^4 is a manifold with a CR-boundary at infinity, an adapted spinc-…

Finite energy solutions classified for Seiberg-Witten equations on complex plane and Riemann surface.
We consider a claim mentioned in \cite{Witten} pp 187 about the relation between a symplectic chain complex with compatible bases and Reidemeister Torsion of it. This is an explanation of it.
