Yang-Mills flow on special-holonomy manifolds

Differential Geometry 2023-05-17 v2

Abstract

This paper develops Yang-Mills flow on Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. By analogy with the second-named author's thesis, we find that a supremum bound on a certain curvature component is sufficient to rule out finite-time singularities. Assuming such a bound, we prove that the infinite-time bubbling set is calibrated by the defining (n4)(n-4)-form.
