A lift of the Seiberg-Witten equations to Kaluza-Klein five-manifolds

Abstract: We consider Riemannian 4-manifolds

(X, g_{X})

with a Spin^c-structure and a suitable circle bundle

Y

over

X

such that the Spin^c-structure on

X

lifts to a spin structure on

Y

. With respect to these structures a spinor

p h i

on

X

lifts to an untwisted spinor

p s i

on

Y

and a U(1)-gauge field

A

for the Spin^c-structure can be absorbed into a Kaluza-Klein metric

g_{Y}^{A}

on

Y

. We show that irreducible solutions

(A, p h i)

to the Seiberg-Witten equations on

(X, g_{X})

for the given Spin^c-structure are equivalent to irreducible solutions

p s i

of a Dirac equation with cubic non-linearity on the Kaluza-Klein circle bundle

(Y, g_{Y}^{A})

. As an application we consider solutions to the equations in the case of Sasaki 5-manifolds which are circle bundles over Kaehler-Einstein surfaces.
