ASD moduli spaces over four-manifolds with tree-like ends

Tsuyoshi Kato

Abstract. In this paper we construct Riemannian metrics and weight functions over Casson handles. We show that the corresponding Atiyah-Hitchin-Singer complexes are Fredholm for some class of Casson handles of bounded type. Using these, the Yang-Mills moduli spaces are constructed as finite dimensional smooth manifolds over Casson handles in the class.

Keywords. Yang-Mills theory, Casson handles
