Abstract

Let X be a four-manifold with boundary three-manifold M. We shall describe (i) a pre-symplectic structure on the space A(X) of connections on the bundle X×SU(n) that comes from the canonical symplectic structure on the cotangent space T⁎A(X), and (ii) a pre-symplectic structure on the space A0♭(M) of flat connections on M×SU(n) that have null charge. These two structures are related by the boundary restriction map. We discuss also the Hamiltonian features of the space of connections A(X) together with the action of the group of gauge transformations.
