48 results for empty cycles

We study generalisations to the structure groups U(n) of the familiar (abelian) Seiberg-Witten monopole equations on a four-manifold XX and their moduli spaces. For n=1n=1 one obtains the classical monopole equations. For n>1n > 1 our results indicate that there should not be any non-trivial gauge-theoretical invariants…

Let n>2 and let M be an orientable complete finite volume hyperbolic n-manifold with (possibly empty) geodesic boundary having Riemannian volume vol(M) and simplicial volume ||M||. A celebrated result by Gromov and Thurston states that if M has empty boundary then the ratio between vol(M) and ||M|| is equal to v_n, whe…

In the current article we study complex cycles of higher multiplicity in a specific polynomial family of holomorphic foliations in the complex plane. The family in question is a perturbation of an exact polynomial one-form giving rise to a foliation by Riemann surfaces. In this setting, a complex cycle is defined as a …

In homogenous space Sol we study compact surfaces with constant mean curvature and with non-empty boundary. We ask how the geometry of the boundary curve imposes restrictions over all possible configurations that the surface can adopt. We obtain a flux formula and we establish results that assert that, under some restr…

Using Kontsevich's identification of the homology of the Lie algebra l_infty with the cohomology of Out(F_r), Morita defined a sequence of 4k-dimensional classes mu_k in the unstable rational homology of Out(F_{2k+2}). He showed by a computer calculation that the first of these is non-trivial, so coincides with the uni…

We introduce a notion of vanishing Maslov index for lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian integral cycles in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We construct mass-decreasing flows of lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian cycles which satisfy this condition. The flow of cycles converges, at infinite time, to a sum of special lagrangian …

We define the symplectic displacement energy of a non-empty subset of a compact symplectic manifold as the infimum of the Hofer-like norm [5] of symplectic diffeomorphisms that displace the set.

Recently Andrei Teleman considered instanton moduli spaces over negative definite four-manifolds XX with b2(X)1b_2(X) \geq 1. If b2(X)b_2(X) is divisible by four and b1(X)=1b_1(X) =1 a gauge-theoretic invariant can be defined; it is a count of flat connections modulo the gauge group. Our first result shows that if such a moduli s…
