What is recorded here?
Studied the Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface by equivariant Morse theory and derived topological information about critical sets and moduli of bundles.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact two-author paper received in 1982 and published in 1983. Its results concern the stated surface, bundle and gauge-theoretic setting; Donaldson four-manifold theory, later symplectic reductions and other gauge theories remain separate.
