For studying such equations, a new unified technology has been developed, involving analysis on infinite-dimensional manifolds. A striking applications of the new technology is Donaldson‘s theory of "anti-self-dual" connections on SU(2)-bundles over four-manifolds, which applies the Yang-Mills equations from mathematical physics to shed light on the relationship between the classification of topological and smooth four-manifolds. This reverses the expected direction of application from topology to differential equations to mathematical physics. Even though the Yang-Mills equations are only mildly nonlinear, a prodigious amount of nonlinear analysis is necessary to fully understand the properties of the space of solutions. . At our present state of knowledge, understanding smooth structures on topological four-manifolds seems to require nonlinear as opposed to linear PDE‘s. It is therefore quite surprising that there is a set of PDE‘s which are ev | 出版日期 | Book 2001Latest edition | 关键词 | Characteristic class; Clifford algebras; Dirac operators; Hodge theory; Seiberg-Witten invariants; algebr | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-40952-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-540-41221-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-40952-6Series ISSN 0075-8434 Series E-ISSN 1617-9692 | issn_series | 0075-8434 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2001 |
