G 2 holonomy, Taubes’ construction of Seiberg-Witten invariants and superconducting vortices

Abstract Using a reformulation of topological N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 QFT’s in M-theory setup, where QFT is realized via M5 branes wrapping co-associative cycles in a G 2 manifold constructed from the space of self-dual 2-forms over a four-fold X, we show that superconducting vortices are mapped to...
