abbrev SWGaugeGroup (M : Type u_1) [TopologicalSpace M] :
Type u_1

The Seiberg–Witten gauge group $\mathcal{G} = C^\infty(M, S^1)$ on a manifold $M$.

Instances For

    The embedding $S^1 \hookrightarrow \mathcal{G}$ as constant maps; its image is the central stabilizer of reducible solutions.

    Instances For

      A gauge transformation $f \in \mathcal{G}$ is constant if $f \equiv z \in S^1$ everywhere.

        Type (max 1 u_1)

        Concrete data packaging the Seiberg–Witten setup on a $4$-manifold: spaces of connections, spinors, self-dual $2$-forms, the logarithmic derivative $f \mapsto f^{-1}df$, the Dirac operator, the self-dual curvature, Clifford multiplication, the traceless quadratic $\psi \otimes \psi^*$, and a perturbation $\mu$, together with the gauge-equivariance axioms.

        Instances For

          The gauge action on a connection: $A \mapsto A - 2 f^{-1} df$.

          Instances For

            The combined gauge action on pairs $(A, \psi) \mapsto (A - 2 df \cdot f^{-1}, f\psi)$.

            Instances For

              The (perturbed) Seiberg–Witten equations: $D_A \psi = 0$ and $F_A^+ \cdot \varphi = \sigma(\psi)\varphi - \mu \cdot \varphi$ for all spinors $\varphi$.

                Proposition 1: the gauge action $(A, \psi) \mapsto (A - 2 df \cdot f^{-1}, f\psi)$ preserves the space of SW solutions (gauge invariance of the SW equations).
