A lift of the Chern-Simons functional and its application to equivariant Floer homology
We investigate the gauge theory of 3- and 4- manifolds. A lift of the Chern-Simons functional for fiat connections on a principal SU(2)-bundle over a homology 3-sphere Y is constructed, putting strong restrictions on the existence of low-dimensional instan ton moduli spaces over the cylinder R...
