The Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket for derivation based non commutative differential forms

Abstract

In commutative differential geometry the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket computes all kinds of curvatures and obstructions to integrability. In \cit!{3} the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket was developped for universal differential forms of non-commutative algebras, and several applications were given. In this paper this bracket and the Frölicher-Nijenhuis calculus will be developped for several kinds of differential graded algebras based on derivations, which were indroduced by \cit!{6}.

Long time behavior of leafwise heat flow for Riemannian foliations

For any Riemannian foliation F on a closed manifold M with an arbitrary bundle-like metric, leafwise heat flow of differential forms is proved to preserve smoothness on M at infinite time. This result and its proof have consequences about the space of bundle-like metrics on M, about the dimension of the space of leafwise harmonic forms, and mainly about the second term of the differentiable spectral sequence of F.

A Simple Geometric Representative for $μ$ of a Point

For $SU(2)$ (or $SO(3)$) Donaldson theory on a 4-manifold $X$, we construct a simple geometric representative for $μ$ of a point. Let $p$ be a generic point in $X$. Then the set $\{ [A] | F_A^-(p) $ is reducible $\}$, with coefficient -1/4 and appropriate orientation, is our desired geometric representative.

Moduli spaces of PU(2)-monopoles

The goal of this article was the S^1-equivariant transversality-problem and the compactification-problem for the moduli spaces of (perturbed) PU(2)-monopoles. A substantially improved version entitled "Moduli spaces of PU(2)-monopoles (revised version)" which gives simpler, clearer proofs of the transversality results, has been published on arxiv in June 99 and appeared in Asian J. Math, see Moduli spaces of PU(2)-Monopoles, Asian J. Math. Vol. 4, No. 2 (2000), 391-436.
