We characterize the rate of convergence of a converging volume-normalized Yamabe flow in terms of Morse theoretic properties of the limiting metric. If the limiting metric is an integrable critical point for the Yamabe functional (for…
Geometric flows have proved to be a powerful geometric analysis tool, perhaps most notably in the study of 3-manifold topology, the differentiable sphere theorem, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections and canonical Kaehler metrics. In the…
We study bubbling for sequences of Yang-Mills connections on closed four-manifolds and we derive a compatibility of Pohozaev type between the weak limit connection and the bubble formed at a concentration point, involving the Weyl tensor of…
Yang-Mills theories are an important building block of the standard model and in particular of quantum chromodynamics. Its correlation functions describe the behavior of its elementary particles, the gauge bosons. In quantum chromodynamics,…
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.
We define regularity scales to study the behavior of the Calabi flow. Based on estimates of the regularity scales, we obtain convergence theorems of the Calabi flow on extremal Kahler surfaces, under the assumption of global existence of…
We advocate a method to improve systematically the self-consistent harmonic approximation (or the Gaussian approximation), which has been employed extensively in condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. We demonstrate the {\em…
The theory of ideal Yang-Mills fluids (IYMF; a Yang-Mills field coupled to a fluid in the limit of infinite conductivity) is embedded in symmetric hyperbolic form. This yields both causality and well-posedness of initial value problems in…
We make several improvements on the results of M.-T. Wang in [8] and his joint paper with M.-P. Tsui [7] concerning the long time existence and convergence for solutions of mean curvature flow in higher co-dimension. Both the curvature…
Shown is a new duality for the moduli spaces of Yang-Mills connections over noncommutative vector bundles, using which one sees that total data of quantum field theory are preserved by dimension reduction.
Utilizing a number of results of Dittmann, we investigate the nature of the Yang-Mills field over the eight-dimensional convex set, endowed with the Bures metric, of three-level quantum systems. Adopting a numerical strategy, we first…
In this paper, we prove a convergence theorem for sequences of Einstein Yang-Mills systems on $U(1) $-bundles over closed $n$-manifolds with some bounds for volumes, diameters, $L^{2}$-norms of bundle curvatures and $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norms…
The partition function of Euclidean Yang-Mills theory on two dimensional surfaces is given by the Migdal formula. It involves the area and topological characteristics of the surface. We consider this theory on a class of infinite genus…
The functional approach to Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory is considered within the standard, second order, formalism. The Dyson-Schwinger equations and Slavnov-Taylor identities concerning the two-point functions are derived explicitly and…
The $\gamma_i$-deformed $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory is a non-supersymmetric deformation of the maximally-supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions which is conformally-invariant at the planar level. At the non-planar level…
In this note, we introduce a new curvature condition called the $2-$positive bisectional curvature on compact K\"{a}hler manifolds. We then deduce a characterization theorem for manifolds with $2-$positive bisectional curvature, which can…
We consider the Yang-Mills flow on hyperbolic 3-space. The gauge connection is constructed from the frame-field and (not necessarily compatible) spin connection components. The fixed points of this flow include zero Yang-Mills curvature…

General string-theoretic considerations suggest that four-dimensional large-N gauge theories should have dual descriptions in terms of two-dimensional conformal field theories. However, for non-supersymmetric confining theories such as pure…
We present an action for noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in ten-dimensions, and confirm its invariance under supersymmetry. We next add higher-order derivative terms to such a noncommutative supersymmetric action. These…
