Funded Activity Summary

Monopoles, instantons and metrics. This Project is pure basic research in the general area of differential geometry or the study of manifolds. Manifolds are higher dimensional analogues of surfaces such as the surface of the sphere or the surface of a doughnut. This Project studies monopoles and instantons which are solutions of partial differential equations arising in physics. These solutions and the so-called moduli spaces of all solutions have been used in the last two decades by the worlds leading mathematicians to revolutionize the study of three and four dimensional manifolds.
