The configuration space of gauge theory on open manifolds of bounded geometry

Jürgen Eichhorn, Gerd Heber (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We define suitable Sobolev topologies on the space 𝒞 P ( B k , f ) of connections of bounded geometry and finite Yang-Mills action and the gauge group and show that the corresponding configuration space is a stratified space. The underlying open manifold is assumed to have bounded geometry.

The Group of Large Diffeomorphisms in General Relativity

Domenico Giulini (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate the mapping class groups of diffeomorphisms fixing a frame at a point for general classes of 3-manifolds. These groups form the equivalent to the groups of large gauge transformations in Yang-Mills theories. They are also isomorphic to the fundamental groups of the spaces of 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms, which are the analogues in General Relativity to gauge-orbit spaces in gauge theories.

The singularity structureοf the Yang-Mills configuration space

Jürgen Fuchs (1997)

Banach Center Publications

The geometric description of Yang–Mills theories and their configuration space is reviewed. The presence of singularities in M is explained and some of their properties are described. The singularity structure is analysed in detail for structure group SU(2). This review is based on [28].
