Title：

Z/2 harmonic forms, harmonic maps into R-trees, and compactifications of character variety

Abstract:

In this talk, we will explore the connection between the analytic compactification of the moduli space of flat SL(2,C) connections on closed, oriented 3-manifolds defined by Taubes, and the Morgan–Shalen compactification of the SL(2,C) character variety. We will discuss how these two compactifications are related through harmonic maps to R-trees. Additionally, we will discuss several applications of this construction in the analytic aspects of gauge theory. This is joint work with R. Wentworth and B. Zhang.
