| Dec 21, 2010 at 18:06 | comment | added | Dmitri Panov | I think, you forget to mention Donaldson, the person who actually made this amazing discovery : "one should study spaces of functions that satisfy non-linear elliptic equations". You might be interested to see what Gromov writes on this topic in the last paragraph of "Soft and hard", ihes.fr/~gromov/PDF/soft_and_hard.pdf . For other theories of this type the must read is Gauge theory in higher dimesnions by Donaldson and Thomas www2.imperial.ac.uk/~rpwt/skd.pdf | |
