TLDR
In this article, the Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory, and the main result is that this is a perfect 9 functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry.Abstract:
The Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory. The main result is that this is a ‘perfect9 functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry. This enables topological conclusions to be drawn about the critical sets and leads eventually to information about the moduli space of algebraic bundles over the Riemann surface. This in turn depends on the interplay between the holomorphic and unitary structures, which is analysed in detail.read more

Geometric cobordism categories
TL;DR: In this paper, the homotopy of cobordism categories of manifolds with fiberwise structures on their tangent bundles has been identified in terms of certain Thom spectra, which has relevance to topological field theories, moduli spaces of geometric structures and h-principles.

The Atiyah-Jones conjecture for ruled surfaces.
Jacques Hurtubise,R. J. Milgram +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a slightly larger moduli space is obtained by adding in an S (7(2) framing / at a fixed point of X. The moduli spaces are then embedded naturally into the space RO of gauge equivalence classes (A, t)9 where A is now any connection.

Geometric Invariant Theory
TL;DR: Geometric invariant theory for moduli spaces has been studied extensively in the mathematical community as mentioned in this paper, with a large number of applications to the moduli space construction problem, see, for instance, the work of Mumford and Fogarty.

Self-duality in four-dimensional Riemannian geometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a self-contained account of the ideas of R. Penrose connecting four-dimensional Riemannian geometry with three-dimensional complex analysis, and apply this to the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in Euclidean 4-space and compute the number of moduli for any compact gauge group.
