Hypercomplex Algebras and Geometry of Spaces with Fundamental Formof an Arbitrary Order

Mikhail P. Burlakov, Igor M. Burlakov, Marek Jukl (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The article is devoted to a generalization of Clifford and Grassmann algebras for the case of vector spaces over the field of complex numbers. The geometric interpretation of such generalizations are presented. Multieuclidean geometry is considered as well as the importance of it in physics.

On Seiberg-Witten equationsοn symplectic 4-manifolds

Klaus Mohnke (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss Taubes' idea to perturb the monopole equations on symplectic manifolds to compute the Seiberg-Witten invariants in the light of Witten's symmetry trick in the Kähler case.

On Sp(2) and Sp(2) · Sp(1) structures in 8-dimensional vector bundles.

Martin Cadek, Jirí Vanzura (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let ξ be an oriented 8-dimensional vector bundle. We prove that the structure group SO(8) of ξ can be reduced to Sp(2) or Sp(2) · Sp(1) if and only if the vector bundle associated to ξ via a certain outer automorphism of the group Spin(8) has 3 linearly independent sections or contains a 3-dimensional subbundle. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an Sp(2)- structure in ξ over a closed connected spin manifold of dimension 8 are also given in terms of characteristic classes.
