Comparing virtual fundamental classes: Gauge theoretical Gromov-Witten invariants for toric varieties

In general, a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence establishes an isomorphism between a moduli space of stable algebraic geometric objects and a moduli space of solutions of a certain (generalized) Hermite-Einstein equation. We believe that, for a large class of moduli problems, this correspondence respects the virtual fundamental classes defined in the two categories. We prove this statement in an interesting case, namely the moduli problem associated with the symplectic factorization problem which yields the complete toric varieties. Therefore, our main objects are the moduli spaces of "twisted" linear sigma models associated with this symplectic factorization problem. We describe these moduli spaces in both gauge theoretic and algebraic geometric frameworks and we identify the correponding virtual fundamental classes.

Gauge theoretical equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants and the full Seiberg-Witten invariants of ruled surfaces

Let $(F,J,ω)$ be an almost Kähler manifold, $α$ a $J$-holomorphic action of a compact Lie group $\hat K$ on $F$, and $K$ a closed normal subgroup of $\hat K$ which leaves $ω$ invariant. We introduce gauge theoretical invariants for such triples $(F,α,K)$. The invariants are associated with moduli spaces of solutions of a certain vortex type equation on a Riemann surface. We give explicite descriptions of the moduli spaces associated with the triple $(\Hom(\C^r,\C^{r_0}), α_{\rm can},U(r))$, where $α_{\rm can}$ denotes the canonical action of $\hat K=U(r)\times U(r_0)$ on $\Hom(\C^r,\C^{r_0})$. In the abelian case $r=1$, the new invariants can be computed expliciteley and identified with the full Seiberg-Witten invariants of ruled surfaces.

Quaternionic Monopoles

We present the simplest non-abelian version of Seiberg-Witten theory: Quaternionic monopoles. These monopoles are associated with Spin^h(4)-structures on 4-manifolds and form finite-dimensional moduli spaces. On a Kahler surface the quaternionic monopole equations decouple and lead to the projective vortex equation for holomorphic pairs. This vortex equation comes from a moment map and gives rise to a new complex-geometric stability concept. The moduli spaces of quaternionic monopoles on Kahler surfaces have two closed subspaces, both naturally isomorphic with moduli spaces of canonically stable holomorphic pairs. These components intersect along Donaldsons instanton space and can be compactified with Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces. This should provide a link between the two corresponding theories. Notes: To appear in CMP The revised version contains more details concerning the Uhlenbeck compactfication of the moduli space of quaternionic monopoles, and possible applications are discussed. Attention ! Due to an ununderstandable mistake, the duke server had replaced all the symbols "=" by "=3D" in the tex-file of the revised version we sent on February, the 2-nd. The command "\def{\ad}" had also been damaged !

The Coupled Seiberg-Witten Equations, vortices, and Moduli spaces of stable pairs

We introduce coupled Seiberg-Witten equations, and we prove, using a generalized vortex equation, that, for Kaehler surfaces, the moduli space of solutions of these equations can be identified with a moduli space of holomorphic stable pairs. In the rank 1 case, one recovers Witten's result identifying the space of irreducible monopoles with a moduli space of divisors. As application, we give a short proof of the fact that a rational surface cannot be diffeomorphic to a minimal surface of general type.
