A Kähler structure on moduli space of isometric maps of a circle into Euclidean space.
We show that the generating function for the higher Weil–Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten’s free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this generating function has a natural extension to the moduli space of invertible Cohomological Field Theories, this suggests the existence of a “very large phase space”, correlation functions on which include Hodge integrals studied by C. Faber and R. Pandharipande....
We give a complete classification of germs of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds. By a 2-distribution we mean either a module generated by two vector fields (at singular points its dimension decreases) or a Pfaff equation, i.e. a module generated by a differential 1-form (at singular points the dimension of its kernel increases).
The space Bi0 = Imm0 (S1, R2) / Diff (S1) of all immersions of rotation degree 0 in the plane modulo reparameterizations has homotopy groups π1(Bi0) = Z, π2(Bi0) = Z, and πk(Bi0) = 0 for k ≥ 3.
Soit un -fibré principal différentiable sur une variété ( un groupe de Lie compact). Étant donné une action d’un groupe de Lie compact sur , on se pose la question de savoir si elle provient d’une action sur le fibré . L’originalité de ce travail est de relier ce problème à l’existence de points fixes pour les actions de que l’on induit naturellement sur divers espaces de modules de -connexions sur .
We prove that Witten’s Conjecture [40] on the relationship between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten series for a four-manifold of Seiberg-Witten simple type with and odd follows from our -monopole cobordism formula [6] when the four-manifold has or is abundant.
