Reference request: Introductions to current mathematics derived from / related to gauge theories

Question

I was searching for introductions to current mathematics related to gauge theories.

Can someone suggest some good references?

E.g.

Since you are asking for "mathematics related to gauge theories" I am assuming that you mean "gauge theory" in the context of physics. In mathematics, the term "gauge theory" is a well-defined subfield of differential geometry: the study of connections on vector bundles, usually with special properties, and their associated moduli spaces. This is a huge area of current mathematical research. Some of it is physics inspired, but certainly not all of it. — Spiro Karigiannis, Nov 25 '11 at 14:18
If I'm not mistaken "gauge field" in physics is equivalent to "connections on vector bundles" in maths. - In the context of your comment, I mean 'gauge theory' in the context of maths. — Sadiq Ahmed, Nov 25 '11 at 14:28
(ie. current pure mathematics inspired by / from "gauge (field) theory" in physics) — Sadiq Ahmed, Nov 25 '11 at 14:30
This question is awfully broad. Are you looking for introductions to areas like Donaldson theory or Seiberg-Witten theory? — S. Carnahan♦, Nov 26 '11 at 3:48

See these

and, as a physicist, I would also add Faddeev and Slavnov
