Parabolic Bundles

Given a stable parabolic bundle over a Riemann surface, we study the problem of finding a compatible Yang-Mills connexion. When the parabolic weights are rational there is an equivalent problem on an orbifold bundle. When the weights are irrational our method is to choose a sequence of approximating rational weights, obtain a corresponding sequence of Yang-Mills connexions on the resulting orbifold bundles and obtain the solution as the limit of this sequence: we need to consider mildly singular connexions which locally about a marked point take the form d — Aid# + a . Here A is a constant diagonal matrix whose entries depend on the weights and their rational approximations, 0 = arg(z) for z a local uniformizing (orbifold) coordinate centred on the marked point and a is an L 2 1 connexion matrix. In this context we find all the necessary gauge-theoretic tools to prove the theorem, including a version of Uhlenbeck’s weak compactness theorem, provided | A| is sufficiently small. (One of the advantages of this approach is that we do analysis on a compact orbifold rather than on the punctured surface.) Our methods also allow us to consider the analogous problem for stable parabolic Higgs bundles.

Parabolic Bundles

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.

Abstract M-theory on local G2-manifolds engineers 4d minimally supersymmetric gauge theories. We consider ALE-fibered G2-manifolds and study the 4d physics from the view point of a partially twisted 7d supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and its Higgs bundle. Euclidean M2-brane instantons descend to non-perturbative effects of the 7d supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, which are found to be in one to one correspondence with the instantons of a colored supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We compute the contributions of M2-brane instantons to the 4d superpotential in the effective 7d description via localization in the colored quantum mechanics. Further we consider non-split Higgs bundles and analyze their 4d spectrum.

This chapter explains the correspondence between local systems on a punctured Riemann surface with the structure group being a real reductive Lie group G, and parabolic G-Higgs bundles. The chapter describes the objects involved in this correspondence, taking some time to motivate them by recalling the definitions of G-Higgs bundles without parabolic structure and of parabolic vector bundles. Finally, it explains the relevant polystability condition and the correspondence between local systems and Higgs bundles.

AbstractGiven a faithful action of a finite groupGon an algebraic curveXof genusgX≥ 2, we giveexplicit criteria for the induced action ofGon the Riemann–Roch spaceH0(X,OX(D)) to be faithful,whereDis aG-invariant divisor on X of degree at least 2gX− 2. This leads to a concise answer to the question of when the action ofGon the spaceH0(X,Ωx⊗m) of global holomorphic polydifferentials of order m is faithful. IfXis hyperelliptic, we provide an explicit basis of H0(X,Ωx⊗m). Finally, we giveapplications in deformation theory and in coding theory and discuss the analogous problem for theaction ofGon the first homologyH1(X,ℤ/mℤ) ifXis a Riemann surface.

A residue formula which evaluates any correlation function of topological SUn Yang–Mills theory with arbitrary magnetic flux insertion in two-dimensions are obtained. Deformations of the system by two-form operators are investigated in some detail. The method of the diagonalization of a matrix-valued field turns out to be useful to compute various physical quantities. As an application we find the operator that contracts a handle of a Riemann surface and a genus recursion relation.

Let [Formula: see text] be a moduli space of stable parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two over a Riemann surface X. It is a smooth variety defined over [Formula: see text] equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Fix a projective structure [Formula: see text] on X. Using [Formula: see text], we construct a quantization of a certain Zariski open dense subset of the symplectic variety [Formula: see text].

We elaborate on our previous work on (N=2)-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we show how to explicitly determine the low energy quantum effective action for G=SU(3) from the underlying hyperelliptic Riemann surface, and calculate the leading instanton corrections. This is done by solving Picard-Fuchs equations and asymptotically evaluating period integrals. We find that the dynamics of the SU(3) theory is governed by an Appell system of type F4, and compute the exact quantum gauge coupling explicitly in terms of Appell functions.

AbstractModuli spaces of stable parabolic bundles of parabolic degree 0 over the Riemann sphere are stratified according to the Harder–Narasimhan filtration of underlying vector bundles. Over a Zariski open subset $$\mathscr {N}_{0}$$ N 0 of the open stratum depending explicitly on a choice of parabolic weights, a real-valued function $$\mathscr {S}$$ S is defined as the regularized critical value of the non-compact Wess–Zumino–Novikov–Witten action functional. The definition of $$\mathscr {S}$$ S depends on a suitable notion of parabolic bundle ‘uniformization map’ following from the Mehta–Seshadri and Birkhoff–Grothendieck theorems. It is shown that $$-\mathscr {S}$$ - S is a primitive for a (1,0)-form $$\vartheta $$ ϑ on $$\mathscr {N}_{0}$$ N 0 associated with the uniformization data of each intrinsic irreducible unitary logarithmic connection. Moreover, it is proved that $$-\mathscr {S}$$ - S is a Kähler potential for $$(\Omega -\Omega _{\mathrm {T}})|_{\mathscr {N}_{0}}$$ ( Ω - Ω T ) | N 0 , where $$\Omega $$ Ω is the Narasimhan–Atiyah–Bott Kähler form in $$\mathscr {N}$$ N and $$\Omega _{\mathrm {T}}$$ Ω T is a certain linear combination of tautological (1, 1)-forms associated with the marked points. These results provide an explicit relation between the cohomology class $$[\Omega ]$$ [ Ω ] and tautological classes, which holds globally over certain open chambers of parabolic weights where $$\mathscr {N}_{0} = \mathscr {N}$$ N 0 = N .
