Witten triples and the Seiberg-Witten equations on a complex surface. (English) Zbl 1096.14038
The paper generalizes and unifies a type of Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence that identifies irreducible Seiberg-Witten solutions on a complex surface with stable Witten triples. Previously perturbations of the forms $$2\pi i\beta^+, ({\overline{\eta}}-\eta)/2$$ have been separately considered by Witten, Okonek-Teleman, Biquard et al, where $$\beta$$ is a real 2-form of type $$(1,1)$$ and $$\eta$$ is a holomorphic 2-form.
In the paper under review, the author combines them together and examines the Seiberg-Witten equations under a perturbation of the form $$2\pi i\beta^+ + ({\overline{\eta}}-\eta)/2$$. Then an irreducible Seiberg-Witten solution, up to gauge equivalence, corresponds to a unique equivalence class of Witten (poly) stable triple consisting of a line bundle and two bundle homomorphisms. Moreover, if the metric on the complex surface is Kähler, the correspondence is is shown to be the set-theoretical support of an isomorphism of real analytic spaces.
