摘要
In this talk, we will explore the connection between the analytic compactification of the moduli space of flat $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ connections on closed, oriented 3-manifolds defined by Taubes, and the Morgan–Shalen compactification of the $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ 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.
