A note on the index bundle over the moduli space of monopolesDonaldson has shown that the moduli space of monopoles Mk is diffeomorphic to the space k of based rational maps from the two-sphere to itself. We use this diffeomorphism to give an…John D. S. Jones, Michael K. Murray·Jul 15, 1994SaveLearn
Transformation de Fourier-Mukai sur les Surfaces HyperkählériennesGiven two compact hyperkähler surfaces X and Y and a holomorphic vector bundle Q on X× Y, which is a generalized instanton, one can define a Fourier-Mukai transform, which, under…C.

Proper group actions and symplectic stratified spacesLet (M,ω) be a Hamiltonian G-space with a momentum map F:M g*. It is well-known that if α is a regular value of F and G acts freely and properly on the level set…L. Bates, E. Lerman·Jul 7, 1994SaveLearn
A ``stable'' version of the Gromov-Lawson conjectureWe discuss a conjecture of Gromov and Lawson, later modified by Rosenberg, concerning the existence of metrics of positive scalar curvature. It says that a closed spin manifold M of dimension $n…Jonathan Rosenberg, Stephan Stolz·Jul 5, 1994SaveLearn
Teichmuller Space is Not Gromov HyperbolicWe prove that the Teichmuller Space of Riemann Surfaces of genus g>1, equipped with the Teichmuller metric, is not a Gromov Hyperbolic space.Howard A. Masur, Michael Wolf·Jul 1, 1994SaveLearn

The Spectral Flow of the Odd Signature operator and Higher Massey ProductsWe show how to compute the spectral flow of the odd signature operator *dat-dat* along an analytic path of flat connections at on a bundle over a closed odd-dimensional manifold in…Paul Kirk, Eric Klassen·Jun 30, 1994SaveLearn
Basic differential forms for actions of Lie groupsA section of a Riemannian G-manifold M is a closed submanifold Σ which meets each orbit orthogonally. It is shown that the algebra of G-invariant differential forms on M which are…Peter W. Michor·Jun 30, 1994SaveLearn
Moduli Spaces of Singular Yamabe MetricsComplete, conformally flat metrics of constant positive scalar curvature on the complement of k points in the n-sphere, k 2, n 3, were constructed by R\. Schoen [S2]. We consider the…Rafe Mazzeo, Daniel Pollack, Karen Uhlenbeck·Jun 30, 1994SaveLearn
On the Existence of Jenkins-Strebel Differentials Using Harmonic Maps from Surfaces to GraphsWe give a new proof of the existence (HM, Ren) of a Jenkins-Strebel differential Φ on a Riemann surface with prescribed heights of cylinders by considering the harmonic map from…Michael Wolf·Jun 29, 1994SaveLearn
Characteristic Numbers and Generalized Path IntegralsThis is an extended write-up of a talk given in April, 1993 in honor of Raoul Bott's 70th birthday. We first illustrate how some traditional topological and geometric invariants obey ``gluing…Daniel S. Freed·Jun 28, 1994SaveLearn
