Donaldson theory

In mathematics, and especially gauge theory, Donaldson theory is the study of the topology of smooth 4-manifolds using moduli spaces of anti-self-dual instantons. It was started by Simon Donaldson (1983) who proved Donaldson's theorem restricting the possible quadratic forms on the second cohomology group of a compact simply connected 4-manifold. Important consequences of this theorem include the existence of an Exotic R4 and the failure of the smooth h-cobordism theorem in 4 dimensions. The results of Donaldson theory depend therefore on the manifold having a differential structure, and are largely false for topological 4-manifolds.

Many of the theorems in Donaldson theory can now be proved more easily using Seiberg–Witten theory, though there are a number of open problems remaining in Donaldson theory, such as the Witten conjecture and the Atiyah–Floer conjecture.

Fenchel's duality theorem

In mathematics, Fenchel's duality theorem is a result in the theory of convex functions named after Werner Fenchel. Let ƒ be a proper convex function on Rn and let g be a proper concave function on Rn. Then, if regularity conditions are satisfied, inf x ( f ( x ) − g ( x ) ) = sup p ( g ∗ ( p ) − f ∗ ( p ) ) . {\displaystyle \inf _{x}(f(x)-g(x))=\sup _{p}(g_{*}(p)-f^{*}(p)).} where ƒ * is the convex conjugate of ƒ (also referred to as the Fenche...
