We construct the moduli space of Spin(7)-instantons on a hermitian complex vector bundle over a closed 8-dimensional manifold endowed with a (possibly non-integrable) Spin(7)-structure. We find suitable perturbations that achieve regularity of the moduli space, so that it is smooth and of the expected dimension over the irreducible locus.

Let$M$be an$n$-dimensional closed oriented smooth manifold with$n\equiv 4\;\text{mod}\;8$, and$\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$be a complex vector bundle over$M$. We determine the final obstruction for$\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$to admit a stable real form in terms of the characteristic classes of$M$and$\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$. As an application, we obtain the criteria to determine which complex vector bundles over a simply connected four-dimensional manifold admit a stable real form.

Let M be an n-dimensional compact Kaehler manifold, TM its (holomorphic) tangent bundle and T*M its cotangent bundle. Given a complex vector bundle E over M, we denote its m-th symmetric tensor power by SmE and the space of holomorphic sections of E by Γ(E).

In recent years, much work in algebraic topology has been devoted to stable splitting phenomena. Often the existence of these splittings has first been detected at the cohomological level in terms of modules over the Steenrod algebra.For example, W. Richter has exhibited a decomposition of ΩSU(n) of the form(see [7]). Not only were cohomology calculations the initial evidence for this situation, but they further suggested that each summand Gk might be the Thom complex of a suitable k-plane complex vector bundle. This possibility was also verified by Mitchell.

AbstractUsing a modification of Webster's proof of the Newlander–Nirenberg theorem, it is shown that, for a weakly convergent sequence of integrable unitary connections on a complex vector bundle over a complex manifold, there is a subsequence of local holomorphic frames that converges strongly in an appropriate Holder class.

Let G be a compact, connected Lie group such that π2(G) is torsion free. Throughout this paper a vector bundle (representation) will mean a complex vector bundle (representation) and KG will denote the equivariant K-theory functor associabed with the group, G.

Let ξ be a stably fibre homotopic trivial vector bundle. A classical result of Thorn states that the Stiefel-Whitney classes of ξ vanish, and one way to prove this is as follows. Letube the Thorn class of ξ in mod 2 cohomology. Thenuis stably spherical by [2] and therefore all stable cohomology operations vanish onu, showing thatwi(ξ)u= Sqiu= 0. In this note we shall apply this same method using complex cobordism and Landweber-Novikov operations to study relations among Chern classes of a stably fibre homotopic trivial complex vector bundle. We will thus obtain in a unified way certain strong modpconditions for every primep.

Let [Formula: see text] be the classifying space of [Formula: see text], the projective unitary group of order [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text]. We use a Serre spectral sequence to determine the ring structure of [Formula: see text] up to degree [Formula: see text], as well as a family of distinguished elements of [Formula: see text], for each prime divisor [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. We also study the primitive elements of [Formula: see text] as a comodule over [Formula: see text], where the comodule structure is given by an action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] corresponding to the action of taking the tensor product of a complex line bundle and an [Formula: see text]-dimensional complex vector bundle.

It is known [14] that every topological complex vector bundle on a smooth rational surface admits an algebraic structure. In [10] one constructs algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 on with arbitrary Chern classes c1, c2 subject to the necessary topological condition c1 c2 = 0 (mod 2). However, in dimensions greater than 2 the Chern classes don't determine the topological type of a vector bundle. In [2] one classifies the topological complex vector bundles of rank 2 on and one proves that any such bundle admits an algebraic structure.

Let $X$ be a compact 4-manifold with boundary. We study the space of hyperkähler triples $\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{1},\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{2},\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{3}$ on $X$, modulo diffeomorphisms which are the identity on the boundary. We prove that this moduli space is a smooth infinite-dimensional manifold and describe the tangent space in terms of triples of closed anti-self-dual 2-forms. We also explore the corresponding boundary value problem: a hyperkähler triple restricts to a closed framing of the bundle of 2-forms on the boundary; we identify the infinitesimal deformations of this closed framing that can be filled in to hyperkähler deformations of the original triple. Finally we study explicit examples coming from gravitational instantons with isometric actions of $\text{SU}(2)$.

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.
