<p>Solutions to the vortex equations for a closed Riemann surface are well known (moduli space is a symmetric power). What do we know about solutions on surfaces with boundary or non compact surfaces? In particular I am interested in the case of a infinite cylinder $S^1 \times \mathbb{R}$.</p>

<p>Take an exotic $\mathbb{R}^4$ i.e. $V = (\mathbb{R}^4,d)$ such that $V$ is not diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^4$ with standard metric.</p> <p>Is it true (obvious?) that any two smooth maps $f_1, f_2: S^k \to V$ are equivalent via <strong>smooth</strong> homotopy?</p> <p>edited: (for any k)</p>

<p>Are you sure you cannot achieve what you want by simply changing coordinates? Answers are about adding general small function but you want to add a quadratic polynomial only on a neighborhood of $x_0$. </p>

<p>[edit] I'll try to be more precise.</p> <p>In paper N.Nakamura, "Bauer–Furuta invariants under $Z_2$-actions" there is an assumption that $Z_2$ action "lifts to spin^c structure". What i think it means: $Spin^c$ structure is a principal $Spin^c$ bundle $\pi: P \to M$. A lift is (following Gottlieb) an action on $P$ such that $\pi$ is equivariant.</p> <p>1) What are the conditions under which a $Z_2$ action on $M$ lifts?</p> <p>2) What about other groups (different than $Z_2$)?</p> <p>I'll be greatful also for general references on this topic.</p>

<p>You have to be more precise. $A$ is an SO(5) connection but on what bundle? This is a formula for the Dirac operator which depends on local trivialization. I doubt that this defines a global operator in general (this works for a spin or $spin^c$ structures on TM and doesn't have to work on spin structure on every vetor bundle).</p> <p>I will recommend you chapters "spin structures on vector bundles" and "dirac opetors" form book D.Salamon,Spin geometry and Seiberg-Witten invariants.</p> <p>Hope it helped a little.</p>

<p>Simon Donaldson - Riemann Surfaces Great writing, deep understanding. I believe that noone have mentioned it because this topic is older than the book.</p>

You add a &quot;quadratic polynomial Q&quot;. This only make sense in a choosen local coordinates.

I've edited the question.

I mean it lifts to a principal Spin^c bundle.
