INSTANTONS ON CONIC 4-MANIFOLDS: FREDHOLM THEORY
Li, Weiping; Wang, Shuguang;

Abstract
We study the self-duality operator on conic 4-manifolds. The self-duality operator can be identified as a regular singular operator in the sense of $\small{Br\"{u}ning}$ and Seeley, based on which we construct its parametrizations and closed extensions. We also compute the indexes.
