Abstract: Let M be a compact oriented 3-dimensional smooth manifold. In this talk, we will construct a moduli space consisting of the following date {(S, P)} where S is a C1-embedding S1 curve in M, P is a Z/2-harmonic spinor vanishing only on S and |P|=1. We will prove that this moduli space can be parametrized by the space X = { all Riemannian metrics on M } locally as the kernel of a Fredholm operator. In addition, I will show you the possibility to define a new invariant on 3 or 4 dimensional manifolds.
