Abstract

Let AA be a W1,2W^{1,2}-connection on a principle SU(2)\text{SU}(2)-bundle PP over a compact 44-manifold MM whose curvature FAF_A satisfies FAL2(M)Λ\|F_A\|_{L^2(M)}\le \Lambda. Our main result is the existence of a global section σ:MP\sigma: M\to P with finite singularities on MM such that the connection form σA\sigma^*A satisfies the Coulomb equation d(σA)=0d^*(\sigma^*A)=0 and admits a sharp estimate σAL4,(M)C(M,Λ)\|\sigma^*A\|_{\mathcal{L}^{4,\infty}(M)}\le C(M,\Lambda). Here L4,\mathcal{L}^{4,\infty} is a new function space we introduce in this paper that satisfies L4(M)L4,(M)L4ϵ(M)L^4(M)\subsetneq \mathcal{L}^{4,\infty}(M)\subsetneq L^{4-\epsilon}(M) for all ϵ>0\epsilon>0.
