We propose the study of some kind of monopole equations directly associated with a contact structure. Through a rudimentary analysis about the solutions, we show that a closed contact 3-manifold with positive Tanaka-Webster curvature and vanishing torsion must be either not symplectically semifillable or having torsion Euler class of the contact structure.

We prove the existence of non-trivial irreducible SU(2)-monopoles with Dirac singularities on any rational homology 3-sphere, equipped with any Riemannian metric, using a gluing construction.
We prove an L^2-estimate involving Ricci curvature and a harmonic 1-form on a closed oriented Riemannian 3-manifold admitting a solution of any rescaled Seiberg-Witten equations. We also give a necessary condition to be a monopole class on some special connected sums.
We calculate Perelman's invariant for compact complex surfaces and a few other smooth four-manifolds. We also prove some results concerning the dependence of Perelman's invariant on the smooth structure.
We construct monopoles in any asymptotically conical (AC) $3$-manifold $X$ with $b^2(X)=0$. For sufficiently large mass, our construction covers an open set in the moduli space of monopoles. We also give a more general construction of Dirac monopoles in any AC manifold, which may be useful for generalizing our result to the case when $b^2(X) \neq 0$.
We study moduli spaces of Seiberg-Witten monopoles over spin^c Riemannian 4-manifolds with long necks and/or tubular ends. This first part discusses compactness, exponential decay, and transversality. As applications we prove two vanishing theorems for Seiberg-Witten invariants.
In this paper, we study the Seiberg-Witten equations on a compact 3-manifold with boundary. Solutions to these equations are called monopoles. Under some simple topological assumptions, we show that the solution space of all monopoles is a Banach manifold in suitable function space topologies. We then prove that the restriction of the space of monopoles to the boundary is a submersion onto a Lagrangian submanifold of the space of connections and spinors on the boundary. Both these spaces are infinite dimensional, even modulo gauge, since no boundary conditions are specified for the Seiberg-Wit…
We investigate the $\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)$-monopole invariants of symplectic $4$-manifolds and Kähler surfaces with real structures. We prove the nonvanishing theorem for real symplectic $4$-manifolds which is an analogue of Taubes' nonvanishing theorem of the Seiberg-Witten invariants for symplectic $4$-manifolds. Furthermore, the Kobayashi-Hitchin type correspondence for real Kähler surfaces is given.
The virtual dimensions of both framed and unframed SU(2) magnetic monopoles on asymptotically conic 3-manifolds are obtained by computing the index of a Fredholm extension of the associated deformation complex. The unframed dimension coincides with the one obtained by Braam for conformally compact 3-manifolds. The computation follows from the application of a Callias-type index theorem.
Kapustin and Witten associate a Hecke modification of a holomorphic bundle over a Riemann surface to a singular monopole on a Riemannian surface times an interval satisfying prescribed boundary conditions. We prove existence and uniqueness of singular monopoles satisfying prescribed boundary conditions for any given Hecke modification data confirming the underlying geometric invariant theory principle.
We prove a generalization of Bennequin's inequality for Legendrian knots in a 3-dimensional contact manifold (Y,xi), under the assumption that Y is the boundary of a 4-dimensional manifold M and the version of Seiberg-Witten invariants introduced by Kronheimer and Mrowka [Invent. Math. 130 (1997) 209-255] is nonvanishing. The proof requires an excision result for Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces; then the Bennequin inequality becomes a special case of the adjunction inequality for surfaces lying inside M.
$G_2$-Monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on noncompact $7$-manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy. We shall study this equation on the $3$ Bryant-Salamon manifolds. We construct examples of $G_2$-monopoles on two of these manifolds, namely the total space of the bundle of anti-self-dual two forms over the $\mathbb{S}^4$ and $\mathbb{CP}^2$. These are the first nontrivial examples of $G_2$-monopoles. Associated with each monopole there is a parameter $m \in \mathbb{R}^+$, known as the mass of the monopole. We prove that under a symmetry assumption, for each given $m \in \mathbb{R}^+$ t…
On a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a finite group $G$, we show that a $G$-monopole class gives the $L^2$-estimate of the Ricci curvature of a $G$-invariant Riemannian metric, and derive a topological obstruction to the existence of a $G$-invariant nonsingular solution to the normalized Ricci flow on $M$. In particular, for certain $m$ and $n$, $m\Bbb CP_2 # n\bar{\Bbb CP}_2$ admits an infinite family of topologically equivalent but smoothly distinct non-free actions of $\Bbb Z_d$ such that it admits no nonsingular solution to the normalized Ricci flow for any in…
We introduce the notion of a special monopole class on a four-manifold. This is used to prove restrictions on the smooth structures of Einstein manifolds. As an application we prove that there are Einstein four-manifolds which are simply connected, spin, and satisfy the strict Hitchin--Thorpe inequality, and which are homeomorphic to manifolds without Einstein metrics. In the Appendix, written with J. Wehrheim, we use special monopole classes to discuss the classification of Ricci-flat four-manifolds.
We give a proof of, for the case of contact structures defined by global contact 1-forms, a Theorem stated by Eliashberg that for any overtwisted contact structure on a closed 3-manifold, its contact homology is 0. A different proof is also outlined in the appendix by Yakov Eliashberg.
We establish a gluing theorem for monopoles over 4--manifolds containing long necks. The theorem is stated in terms of an ungluing map defined explicitly in terms of data that appear naturally in applications. Orientations of moduli spaces are handled using Benevieri--Furi's concept of orientations of Fredholm operators of index 0.
We introduce the concept of twisted contact groupoids, as an extension either of contact groupoids or of twisted symplectic ones, and we discuss the integration of twisted Jacobi manifolds by twisted contact groupoids. We also investigate the very close relationships which link homogeneous twisted Poisson manifolds with twisted Jacobi manifolds and homogeneous twisted symplectic groupoids with twisted contact ones. Some examples for each structure are presented.
We introduce the cutting construction of possibly non-compact symplectic toric manifolds, in particular, toric symplectic cones that correspond to a weakly convex good cone. Since the symplectization of a toric contact manifold is a toric symplectic cone, we can also construct toric contact manifolds that correspond to a weakly convex good cone by the cutting construction. (Note that these toric contact manifolds can not be constructed by Delzant construction.) We further prove there are no toric Sasakian structures on these contact manifolds. From this, contact toric manifolds of toric K-cont…

Almost Hermitian structures on moduli spaces of non-Abelian monopoles and applications to the topology of symplectic four-manifolds
本文通过Morse理论研究非阿贝尔单极模空间的几乎正交结构，证明了辛四维流形上Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau不等式成立。
In this paper, we show the existence of (co-oriented) contact structures on certain classes of $G_2$-manifolds, and that these two structures are compatible in certain ways. Moreover, we prove that any seven-manifold with a spin structure (and so any manifold with $G_2$-structure) admits an almost contact structure. We also construct explicit almost contact metric structures on manifolds with $G_2$-structures.
We show that every K-contact Einstein manifold is Sasakian-Einstein and discuss several corollaries of this result.
$G_2$-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on $G_2$-manifolds. If the $G_2$-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible $G_2$-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities $G_2$-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompact case) of non-Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities, and examples of monopoles whose singularities are not of that type. We also give an existence result for Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities on compact manifolds. This should be one of the building block…
We give simple characterizations of contact 1-forms in terms of Dirac structures. We also relate normal almost contact structures to the theory of Dirac structures.
We construct symplectic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds with contact border. The boundary of such submanifolds is shown to be a contact submanifold of the contact border. We also give a topological characterization of the constructed submanifolds by means of a ``relative Lefschetz hyperplane Theorem''. We sketch some of the applications of the results.
On a smooth closed oriented $4$-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a compact Lie group $G$, we define a $G$-monopole class as an element of $H^2(M;\Bbb Z)$ which is the first Chern class of a $G$-equivariant Spin$^c$ structure which has a solution of the Seiberg-Witten equations for any $G$-invariant Riemannian metric on $M$. We find $\Bbb Z_k$-monopole classes on some $\Bbb Z_k$-manifolds such as the connected sum of $k$ copies of a 4-manifold with nontrivial mod 2 Seiberg-Witten invariant or Bauer-Furuta invariant, where the $\Bbb Z_k$-action is a cyclic permutation of $k$ summands. As an …
We discuss the Euclidean limit of hyperbolic SU(2)-monopoles, framed at infinity, from the point of view of pluricomplex geometry. More generally, we discuss the geometry of hypercomplex manifolds arising as limits of pluricomplex manifolds.
Recent developments in the understanding of $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions suggest a new point of view about Donaldson theory of four manifolds: instead of defining four-manifold invariants by counting $SU(2)$ instantons, one can define equivalent four-manifold invariants by counting solutions of a non-linear equation with an abelian gauge group. This is a ``dual'' equation in which the gauge group is the dual of the maximal torus of $SU(2)$. The new viewpoint suggests many new results about the Donaldson invariants.
We refine some classical estimates in Seiberg-Witten theory, and discuss an application to the spectral geometry of three-manifolds. In particular, we show that on a rational homology three-sphere $Y$, for any Riemannian metric the first eigenvalue of the laplacian on coexact one-forms is bounded above explicitly in terms of the Ricci curvature, provided that $Y$ is not an $L$-space (in the sense of Floer homology). The latter is a purely topological condition, and holds in a variety of examples. Performing the analogous refinement in the case of manifolds with $b_1>0$, we obtain a gauge-theor…
Using quantum field-theoretic arguments, Witten has established a relation between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds. In this survey article, we describe the program to prove this relation using a moduli space of PU(2) = SO(3) monopoles as a cobordism between the Donaldson moduli space of anti-self-dual SO(3) connections and moduli spaces of U(1) monopoles. We provide an overview of some of our transversality and Uhlenbeck compactness results for PU(2) monopoles, along with some of our calculations of Donaldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants…
We use methods of complex analysis to extend the bundle structure across a removable point-singularity in a Sasakian three-manifold.
We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the special Kähler holonomy. Motivated by certain curvature identities satisfied by manifolds admitting parallel twisted pure spinors, we also introduce the Clifford monopole equations as a natural geometric generalization of the Seiberg-Witten equations. We show that they restrict to the Seiberg-Witten equations in 4 dimensions, and that they admit non-trivial solutions on manifolds with special Riemannian holonomy.
Some aspects of the construction of SW Floer homology for manifolds with non-trivial rational homology are analyzed. In particular, the case of manifolds that are obtained as zero-surgery on a knot in a homology sphere, and for torsion spinc structures. We discuss relative invariants in the case of torsion spinc structures.
We show that there exist infinitely many pairwise distinct non-closed G_2-manifolds (some of which have holonomy full G_2) such that they admit co-oriented contact structures and have co-oriented contact submanifolds which are also associative. Along the way, we prove that there exists a tubular neighborhood N of every orientable three-submanifold Y of an orientable seven-manifold with spin structure such that for every co-oriented contact structure on Y, N admits a co-oriented contact structure such that Y is a contact submanifold of N. Moreover, we construct infinitely many pairwise distinct…
Due to a previous result which states that contact varieties are isomorphic to certain varieties, the momentum polytopes of contact manifolds are convex.

We give the parallelism between locally conformal symplectic manifolds and contact manifolds. We also give the generalization of exact contact manifolds.
We give a complete classification of foliations on open contact manifolds whose leaves are contact submanifolds of the ambient manifold. The results are analogues of Haefliger's classification of foliations on open manifold.

In this paper we develop analysis of the monopole maps over the universal covering space of a compact four manifold. We induce a property on local properness of the covering monopole map under the condition of closeness of the AHS complex. In particular we construct a higher degree of the covering monopole map when the linearized equation is isomorphic, which induces a homomorphism between K group of the group C^* algebras. It involves non linear analysis on the covering space, which is related to L^p cohomology. We also obtain various Sobolev estimates on the covering spaces. As a possible ap…
We prove an analogue of the Kotschick-Morgan conjecture in the context of SO(3) monopoles, obtaining a formula relating the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds using the SO(3)-monopole cobordism. The main technical difficulty in the SO(3)-monopole program relating the Seiberg-Witten and Donaldson invariants has been to compute intersection pairings on links of strata of reducible SO(3) monopoles, namely the moduli spaces of Seiberg-Witten monopoles lying in lower-level strata of the Uhlenbeck compactification of the moduli space of SO(3) monopoles [arXiv:dg-ga/9710…
We define and study certain hyperkaehler manifolds which capture the asymptotic behaviour of the SU(2)-monopole metric in regions where monopoles break down into monopoles of lower charges. The rate at which these new metrics approximate the monopole metric is exponential, as for the Gibbons-Manton metric.
We give a characterization of a contact metric manifold as a special almost contact metric manifold and discuss an almost contact metric manifold which is {a} natural generalization of the contact metric manifolds introduced by Y. Tashiro.

We introduce a general notion of twistorial map and classify twistorial harmonic morphisms with one-dimensional fibres from self-dual four-manifolds. Such maps can be characterised as those which pull back Abelian monopoles to self-dual connections. In fact, the constructions involve solving a generalised monopole equation, and also the Beltrami fields equation of hydrodynamics, and lead to constructions of self-dual metrics.
We study the asymptotic behavior of finite energy $\rm{SU}(2)$ monopoles, and general critical points of the $\rm{SU}(2)$ Yang--Mills--Higgs energy, on asymptotically conical $3$-manifolds with only one end. Our main results generalize classical results due to Groisser and Taubes in the particular case of the flat $3$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$. Indeed, we prove the integrality of the monopole number, or charge, of finite energy configurations, and derive the classical energy formula establishing monopoles as absolute minima. Moreover, we prove that the covariant derivative of …
In this expository review we discuss various aspects of gauge theory. While the focus is on mathematics, wherever possible we make contact with theoretical high energy physics. Particular emphasis is placed on instantons and monopoles, which admit physical interpretation, and yield interesting and nontrivial mathematics. We give a clear and essentially self-contained exposition of the mathematical structure of the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations. Other topics include Donaldson's theorem on moduli spaces of monopoles, compactification of spaces of ASD connections, The Abelian monopole equatio…
Determining the associated metrics we get a local classification of contact metric three manifolds.
In this paper, we prove that evry 3-dimensional manifold M is a ?- recurrent N(k)-contact metric manifold if and only if it is flat. Then we classify the ?-recurrent contact metric manifolds of constant curvature. This implies that there exists no ?-recurrent N(k)-contact metric manifold, which is neither symmetric nor locally ?-symmetric.
For a compact contact manifold it is shown that the anisotropic Folland-Stein function spaces form an algebra. The notion of anisotropic regularity is extended to define the space of Folland-Stein contact diffeomorphisms, which is shown to be a topological group under composition and a smooth Hilbert manifold. These results are used in a subsequent paper to analyze the action of the group of contact diffeomorphisms on the space of CR structures on a compact, three dimensional manifold.
In this study, we investigate generalized quasi-Einstein structure for normal metric contact pair manifolds. Firstly, we deal with elementary properties and examine, existence, and characterizations of generalized quasi-Einstein normal metric contact pair manifold. Secondly, the generalized quasi-constant curvature of normal metric contact pair manifolds are studied and it is proven that a normal metric contact pair manifold with generalized quasi-constant curvature is a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold. Normal metric contact pair manifolds satisfying cyclic Ricci tensor and the Codazzi typ…
A contact metric manifold is said to be $H$-contact, if the characteristic vector field is harmonic. We prove that the unit tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $M$ equipped with the standard contact metric structure is $H$-contact if and only if $M$ is $2$-stein.
In this paper, we show that there is no phi-recurrent Sasakian manifold. Then we prove that the only flat 3-dimensional manifolds are phi-recurrent (k, m)-contact metric manifolds.
We show that any compact metric $f$-$K$-contact, respectively $S$-manifold is obtained from a compact $K$-contact, respectively Sasakian manifold by an iteration of constructions of mapping tori, rotations, and type II deformations.
In this paper, we write down Seiberg-Witten equations on contact metric manifolds of dimension 5. Any contact metric manifold has a spin^c structure. For Dirac equation we use Dirac type operators associated to the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection on spin^c spinor bundle of a contact metric manifold. For curvature equation we need to self-duality concept. Self-duality concept is significant on odd dimensional manifolds, particularly, on 5-dimensional contact manifolds. Finally, we give a global solution to these equations on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds.
In this paper we classify Ricci-generalized pseudosymmetric $(κ, μ)$-contact metric manifolds in the sense of Deszcz .
A Sasaki-like almost contact complex Riemannian manifold is defined as an almost contact complex Riemannian manifold which complex cone is a holomorphic complex Riemannian manifold. Explicit compact and non-compact examples are given. A canonical construction producing a Sasaki-like almost contact complex Riemannian manifold from a holomorphic complex Riemannian manifold is presented and called an $S^1$-solvable extension.
