Abstract: Taubes proved that all compact oriented four-manifolds admit non-flat instantons. We show that there exists a non-compact oriented four-manifold having no non-flat instanton.

Review text

Taubes proved that all compact oriented Riemannian 4-manifolds admit non-flat instantons. In the present paper, the author shows that there exists a non-compact oriented complete Riemannian 4-manifold having no non-flat instanton. The paper is well written.
