Group cohomology and the singularities of the Selberg zeta function associated to a Kleinian group

Abstract

We prove Patterson's conjecture about the singularities of the Selberg zeta function associated to a convex-cocompact, torsion free group acting on a hyperbolic space.

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.

Duality for Lie-Rinehart algebras and the modular class

We introduce a notion of duality for a Lie-Rinehart algebra giving certain bilinear pairings in its cohomology generalizing the usual notions of Poincaré duality in Lie algebra cohomology and de Rham cohomology. We show that the duality isomorphisms can be given by a cap product with a suitable fundamental class and hence may be taken natural in any reasonable sense. Thereafter, for a Lie-Rinehart algebra satisfying duality, we introduce a certain intrinsic module which provides a crucial ingredient for the construction of the bilinear pairings. This module determines a certain class, called modular class of the Lie-Rinehart algebra, which lies in a certain Picard group generalizing the abelian group of flat line bundles on a smooth manifold. Finally, we show that a Poisson algebra having suitable properties determines a certain module for the corrresponding Lie-Rinehart algebra and hence modular class whose square yields the module and characteristic class for its Lie-Rinehart algebra mentioned before. In particular, this gives rise to certain bilinear pairings in Poisson homology.

Seiberg-Witten Equations on Three-Manifolds with Euclidean Ends

We construct the Seiberg-Witten theory on 3-manifolds with Euclidean ends (connected sums of $\R^3$ and a compact manifold) with perturbations which approximate $*dx_3$ at infinity, and describe the structure of the moduli spaces. The setup is inspired by Taubes's program of relating the 4-dimensional Seiberg-Witten invariant with `singular Gromov invariants' and has related applications.
