Abstract

In the present paper, we establish a gluing construction for the Nahm pole solutions to the Kapustin–Witten equations over manifolds with boundaries and cylindrical ends. Given two Nahm pole solutions with some convergence assumptions on the cylindrical ends, we prove that there exists an obstruction class for gluing the two solutions together along the cylindrical end. In addition, we establish a local Kuranishi model for this gluing picture. As an application, we show that over any compact 4-manifold with S 3 or T 3 boundary, there exists a Nahm pole solution to the obstruction perturbed Kapustin–Witten equations. This is also the case for a 4-manifold with hyperbolic boundary under some topological assumptions.
