Equivariant Gluing Theory on Regular Instanton Moduli Spaces

Abstract

We follow the idea of gluing theory in instanton moduli spaces and discuss the case when there is a finite group Γ acting on the 4-manifolds X₁, X₂ with x₁, x₂ as isolated fixed points, how to glue two Γ-invariant ASD connections over X₁, X₂ together to get a Γ-invariant ASD connection on the connected sum X₁ # X₂.
