It is known that there is a bijection between the perturbed closed geodesics, below a given energy level, on the moduli space of flat connections M and families of perturbed Yang-Mills connections depending on a small parameter. In this…

We study the Yang-Mills flow on a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact Kahler manifold X. We construct a natural barrier function along the flow, and introduce some techniques to study the blow-up of the curvature along the flow.…

We study the path integrals of the holomorphic Yang-Mills theory on compact K\"{a}hler surface with $b_2^+ = 1$. Based on the results, we examine the correlation functions of the topological Yang-Mills theory and the corresponding Donaldson…

In this paper we use the gradient flow equation introduced in [10] to construct a Morse complex for the Hamiltonian action $\mathbb A_H$ on a mixed regularity space of loops in the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of a closed manifold $M$.…

We prove that Yang-Mills connections on a surface are characterized as those with the property that the holonomy around homotopic closed paths only depends on the oriented area between the paths. Using this we have an alternative proof for…

We study the gradient flow for Yang-Mills theories with twisted boundary conditions. The perturbative behavior of the energy density $\langle E(t)\rangle$ is used to define a running coupling at a scale given by the linear size of the…

I briefly review results obtained within the variational Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge and confront them with recent lattice data. The variational approach is extended to non-Gaussian wave functionals including…

This paper studies the gradient flow lines for the $L^2$ norm square of the Higgs field defined on the moduli space of semistable rank $2$ Higgs bundles twisted by a line bundle of positive degree over a compact Riemann surface $X$. The…

We prove a sharp convergence theorem for the Yang-Mills flow on an $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{U}(r)$-bundle over a locally hyperK\"ahler ALE 4-manifold. Our main result is a noncompact version of the "parabolic gap theorem" previously established…

We study the Yang-Mills gradient flow using numerical stochastic perturbation theory. As an application of the method we consider the recently proposed gradient flow coupling in the Schr\"odinger functional for the pure SU(3) gauge theory.

Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…

We prove that when Hodge theory survives on non-compact symplectic manifolds, a compact symplectic Lie group action having fixed points is necessarily Hamiltonian, provided the associated almost complex structure preserves the space of…

We define a functional ${\cal J}(h)$ for the space of Hermitian metrics on an arbitrary Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold, as a natural generalization of the mean curvature energy functional of Kobayashi for holomorphic vector…

We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…

Studied are the moduli spaces of Yang-Mills connections on finitely generated projective modules associated with noncommutative flows. It is actually shown that they are homeomorphic to those on the dual modules associated with the dual…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…

In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the Hermitian-Yang-Mills flow over a compact non-K\"ahler manifold $(X,g)$ with the Hermitian metric $g$ satisfying the Gauduchon and Astheno-K\"ahler condition.

We study a smooth analogue of jumping curves of a holomorphic vector bundle, and use Yang-Mills theory over $ S ^{2} $ to show that any non-trivial, smooth Hermitian vector bundle $E $ over a smooth simply connected manifold, must have such…

We introduce the gradient flow of the Seiberg-Witten functional on a compact, orientable Riemannian 4-manifold and show the global existence of a unique smooth solution to the flow. The flow converges uniquely in $C^\infty$ up to gauge to a…
