Let $Sigma$ be a compact Riemann surface and $h_{d,k}(Sigma)$ denote the space of degree $dgeq 1$ holomorphic maps $Sigmara CP^k$. In theoretical physics this arises as the moduli space of charge $d$ lumps (or instantons) in the $CP^k$ model on $Sigma$. There is a natural Riemannian metric on this moduli space, called the $L^2$ metric, whose geometry is conjectured to control the low energy dynamics of $CP^k$ lumps. In this paper an explicit formula for the $L^2$ metric on of $h_{d,k}(Sigma)$ in the special case $d=1$ and $Sigma=S^2$ is computed. Essential use is made of the kahler property of the $L^2$ metric, and its invariance under a natural action of $G=U(k+1)times U(2)$. It is shown that {em all} $G$-invariant kahler metrics on $h_{1,k}(S^2)$ have finite volume for $kgeq 2$. The volume of $h_{1,k}(S^2)$ with respect to the $L^2$ metric is computed explicitly and is shown to agree with a general formula for $h_{d,k}(Sigma)$ recently conjectured by Baptista. The area of a family of twice punctured spheres in $h_{d,k}(Sigma)$ is computed exactly, and a formal argument is presented in support of Baptistas formula for $h_{d,k}(S^2)$ for all $d$, $k$, and $h_{2,1}(T^2)$.

We study singularity formation in spherically symmetric solutions of the charge-one and charge-two sector of the (2+1)-dimensional S^2 sigma-model and the (4+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills model, near the adiabatic limit. These equations are non-integrable, and so studies are performed numerically on rotationally symmetric solutions using an iterative finite differencing scheme that is numerically stable. We evaluate the accuracy of predictions made with the geodesic approximation. We find that the geodesic approximation is extremely accurate for the charge-two sigma-model and the Yang-Mills model, both of which exhibit fast blowup. The charge-one sigma-model exhibits slow blowup. There the geodesic approximation must be modified by applying an infrared cutoff that depends on initial conditions.
We introduce the category of holomorphic string algebroids, whose objects are Courant extensions of Atiyah Lie algebroids of holomorphic principal bundles, as considered by Bressler, and whose morphisms correspond to inner morphisms of the underlying holomorphic Courant algebroids in the sense of Severa. This category provides natural candidates for Atiyah Lie algebroids of holomorphic principal bundles for the (complexified) string group and their morphisms. Our main results are a classification of string algebroids in terms of Cech cohomology, and the construction of a locally complete family of deformations of string algebroids via a differential graded Lie algebra.
We prove that there does not exist a nontrivial quantization of the Poisson algebra of the symplectic manifold S^2 which is irreducible on the subalgebra generated by the components {S_1,S_2,S_3} of the spin vector. We also show that there does not exist such a quantization of the Poisson subalgebra P consisting of polynomials in {S_1,S_2,S_3}. Furthermore, we show that the maximal Poisson subalgebra of P containing {1,S_1,S_2,S_3} that can be so quantized is just that generated by {1,S_1,S_2,S_3}.
We characterize the Lie derivative of spinor fields from a variational point of view by resorting to the theory of the Lie derivative of sections of gauge-natural bundles. Noether identities from the gauge-natural invariance of the first variational derivative of the Einstein(--Cartan)--Dirac Lagrangian provide restrictions on the Lie derivative of fields.
We study codimension one holomorphic distributions on the projective three-space, analyzing the properties of their singular schemes and tangent sheaves. In particular, we provide a classification of codimension one distributions of degree at most 2 with locally free tangent sheaves, and show that codimension one distributions of arbitrary degree with only isolated singularities have stable tangent sheaves. Furthermore, we describe the moduli space of distributions in terms of Grothendiecks Quot-scheme for the tangent bundle. In certain cases, we show that the moduli space of codimension one distributions on the projective space is an irreducible, nonsingular quasi-projective variety. Finally, we prove that every rational foliation, and certain logarithmic foliations have stable tangent sheaves.
