Hyperbolic Multi-Monopoles With Arbitrary Mass
On a complete manifold, such as Euclidean 3-space or hyperbolic 3-space, the
limit at infinity of the norm of the Higgs field is called the mass of the
monopole. We show the existence, on hypebolic 3-space, of monopoles with given
magnetic charge and arbitrary mass. Previously, aside from charge one
monopoles, existence was known only for monopoles with integral mass (since
these arise from U(1) invariant instantons on Euclidean 4-space). The method of
proof is based on Taubes' gluing procedure, using well-separated, explicit,
charge one monopoles. The analysis is carried out in a weighted Sobolev space
and necessitates eliminating the possibility of point spectra.Comment: 20 page
A compactness theorem for complete Ricci shrinkers
We prove precompactness in an orbifold Cheeger-Gromov sense of complete
gradient Ricci shrinkers with a lower bound on their entropy and a local
integral Riemann bound. We do not need any pointwise curvature assumptions,
volume or diameter bounds. In dimension four, under a technical assumption, we
can replace the local integral Riemann bound by an upper bound for the Euler
characteristic. The proof relies on a Gauss-Bonnet with cutoff argument.Comment: 28 pages, final version, to appear in GAF
