Abstract

In this paper, we study the critical points of FF-Yang-Mills functional on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n, which are called FF-Yang-Mills connections, which is a generalization of Yang-Mills connections. We prove that if (2+4n)F(x)x+(n+1)F(x)<0(2+\frac4n)F''(x)x+(n+1)F'(x)<0, then the weakly stable FF-Yang-Mills connection on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n must be flat. Moreover, if (2+4n)F(x)x+(n+1)F(x)=0(2+\frac4n)F''(x)x+(n+1)F'(x)=0, we obtain the structure of curvatures corresponding to weakly stable connections. We also show a gap theorem for FF-Yang-Mills connections on CPn\mathbb{C}P^n. Our approach is inspired by Lawson-Simons' study of Yang-Mills stability on spheres.
