The dx1⊗σ3 coefficient of a BPST instanton on the (x1,x2)-slice of R4 where σ3 is the third Pauli matrix (top left). The dx2⊗σ3 coefficient (top right). These coefficients determine the restriction of the BPST instanton A with g=2,ρ=1,z=0 to this slice. The corresponding field strength centered around z=0 (bottom left). A visual representation of the field strength of a BPST instanton with center z on the compactificationS4 of R4 (bottom right).
Articles created or made significant contributions to
Added discussion of motivation, induced connections, gauge transformations, and expanded the sections on curvature and parallel transport with important formulae. Rewrote the section on local expressions and merged the majority of the redundant content of metric connections into the article. Standardised notation with gauge theory (mathematics).
Added a mathematical statement and a diagram of a Lagrangian torus fibration. Still needs some discussion of the relation to homological mirror symmetry, and perhaps some discussion of the recent work on mirror symmetry in algebraic geometry and so on.
Significantly expanded article, including definition and discussion of existence. Included a discussion of the so-called Song--Tian program and the analytic minimal model program
Rewrote article and massively expanded. Included precise statement of correspondence, detailed history and list of many important generalisations and other conjectures influenced by it.
Adding section on cohomology twisted by flat vector bundle. Some of that content is included in flat vector bundle so should be put there. Including a section on twisted de Rham cohomology to lead to Twisted Poincare Duality.

All
Add at least one diagram or picture to every article mentioned on this page.
Significantly expand the discussion of Higgs bundles and their stability. Include a definition of principal Higgs bundles. Perhaps add a discussion of the relevance of Higgs bundles to the geometric Langlands correspondence, and of the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles for Langlands dual structure groups to mirror symmetry.
Give a more precise statement of the theorem and an example in the case of line bundles, where the theorem follows from basic Hodge theory and essentially gives an isomorphism between the Jacobian and the complex torus.
Give a precise statement of the theorem and a summary of the proof, including the key details about density of rational one-parameter subgroups in the set of all one-parameter subgroups, following the summary proof given in the notes of Richard Thomas on GIT and symplectic reduction.
Create an article explaining the many manifestations of the concept of stability in algebraic geometry, and how they all relate to each other and fit together. Explain the difference between a "GIT stability notion" and the more general picture.
Clean up the page. Add some discussion of the derivation of slope stability from the Quot scheme and the relevant generalisation of Gieseker stability.
Give a precise statement of the theorem and discussion of what it means for positivity versus ampleness, and make some comments about the proof and its use of blowups.
Take the parts of this article that apply to any connection and merge them with Connection (vector bundle). If only a few statements are left over then merge this article into the vector bundles article.
