In this talk we describe the Poisson structure of the moduli space of flat connections on a two dimensional Riemann surface in terms of lattice gauge fields and Poisson–Lie groups.

We study a certain moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a unitary vector bundle over a punctured Riemann surface. The connections used have non-trivial holonomy around the punctures lying in fixed conjugacy classes of U (n) and differ from each other by elements of a weighted Sobolev space; these connections give rise to parabolic bundles in the sense of Mehta and Seshadri. We show in fact that the moduli space of stable parabolic bundles can be identified with our moduli space of HYM connections, by proving that every stable bundle admits a unique unitary gauge orbit of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections.

AbstractModuli spaces of real bundles over a real curve arise naturally as Lagrangian submanifolds of the moduli space of semi–stable bundles over a complex curve. In this paper, we adapt the methods of Atiyah–Bott's “Yang–Mills over a Riemann Surface” to compute ℤ/2–Betti numbers of these spaces.

AbstractThis paper treats the moduli space g,1(Λ) of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g with one boundary component which send the loop around the boundary to an element conjugate to exp Λ, where Λ is in the fundamental alcove of a Lie algebra. We construct natural line bundles over g,1(Λ) and exhibit natural homology cycles representing the Poincaré dual of the first Chern class. We use these cycles to prove differential equations satisfied by the symplectic volumes of these spaces. Finally we give a bound on the degree of a nonvanishing element of a particular subring of the cohomology of the moduli space of stable bundles of coprime rank k and degree d.


The Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory. The main result is that this is a ‘perfect' functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry. This enables topological conclusions to be drawn about the critical sets and leads eventually to information about the moduli space of algebraic bundles over the Riemann surface. This in turn depends on the interplay between the holomorphic and unitary structures, which is analysed in detail.
