Description
The Seiberg-Witten equations, originally formulated on a 4-dimensional manifold as the minima of a gauge-theoretic energy functional, have led to profound results regarding the differential structure of the manifold. In this second part, I will explain how representation theory can be used to formulate, generalise and solve these equations on Hermitian symmetric spaces and outline the idea behind the aforementioned results.
