Abstract

The detailed analysis of the generalised Weierstrass representation of surfaces of revolution and their deformations induced by the modified Korteweg--de Vries (mKdV) equations is done. In particular, it is shown that these deformations preserve tori. The geometric meaning of the potential of surface is discussed and the deformations of potentials induced by geometric deformations (the Moebius inversion and a passing to a dual surface) are described. The conjecture of invariance of first integrals of the mKdV hierarchy, considering as invariants of surfaces, with respect to confomal changes of the metric of the ambient space is introduced. Some numeric computations confirming it are also presented. This paper is the sequel to the previous author's paper "Modified Novikov-Veselov equation and differential geometry of surfaces" (dg-ga/9511005) where generic surfaces are considered. Here the surfaces of revolution are regarded as a toy model for the general case.

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.
