Introduction to instanton gauge theory
Semester
SoSe 2021

Lecturer
Raphael Zentner

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Vorlesung

Contents
We will give an introduction to instanton gauge theory: Moduli spaces of ASD connections on closed 4-manifolds, and also Floer homology of 3-manifolds. Our aim is to introduce the basic analytical tools, in particular, the correct analytical setup, the linearisation of the equations, Fredholm theory, and the basic compactness properties - the Uhlenbeck compactification of the moduli spaces on closed 4-manifolds, and the somewhat more difficult case for manifolds with cylindrical ends, where "energy can escape down the end". The plan is to then introduce Floer homology, and, hopefully, to prove the surgery exact triangle.

Literature

S. Donaldson, Floer homology groups in Yang-Mills theory

S. Donaldson, P. Kronheimer, Geometry of four-manifolds



Recommended previous knowledge
Analysis I-IV, and basic algebraic topology is certainly helpful.
