Energy identity for anti-self-dual instantons on \(\mathbb C\times\Sigma\)




Abstract: We prove an energy identity for anti-self-dual connections on the product C imesSigma of the complex plane and a Riemann surface. The energy is a multiple of a basic constant that is determined from the values of a corresponding Chern-Simons functional on flat connections and its ambiguity under gauge transformations. For SU(2)-bundles this identity supports the conjecture that the finite energy anti-self-dual instantons correspond to holomorphic bundles over CP^1 imesSigma. Such anti-self-dual instantons on SU(n)- and SO(3)-bundles arise in particular as bubbles in adiabatic limits occurring in the context of mirror symmetry and the Atiyah-Floer conjecture. Our identity proves a quantization of the energy of these bubbles that simplifies and strengthens the involved analysis.
