Connections with prescribed curvature and Yang-Mills currents : the semi-simple case
We prove estimates for the sectional curvature of hyperkähler quotients and give applications to moduli spaces of solutions to Nahm’s equations and Hitchin’s equations.
The introduction of the concepts of energy machinery and energy structure on a manifold makes it possible a large class of energy representations of gauge groups including, as a very particular case, the ones known up to now. By using an adaptation of methods initiated by I. M. Gelfand, we provide a sufficient condition for the irreducibility of these representations.
