Abstract:
One of the main causes for the interest in the Levy Laplacian is its connection with the gauge fields. We introduce the Levy Laplacian parameterized by the curve in $SO(4)$. This operator acts on the space of sections of the fiber bundle over the space of paths in a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The connection of the Laplace equation for this Laplacian with the instantons on the 4- dimensional Riemannian manifold is studied. Such a relationship was previously considered by the author in the flat case.
