For any locally defined $G_{2}-$structure and Hermitian-Yang-Mills connection on $S^{6}$, the $G_{2}-$monopole equation always admits a local solution that is asymptotic to the HYM-connection.

Phenomenological compactifications of M-theory involve 7-manifolds with G_2 holonomy and various singularities. Here we study local geometries with such singularities, by thinking of them as compactifications of 7d supersymmetric Yang-Mills…

The behaviour of magnetic monopole solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations subject to linear spherically symmetric perturbations is studied. Using Jacobi's criterion some of the monopoles are shown to be unstable. Furthermore…

We prove that the Yang-Mills equations in the Lorenz gauge (YM-LG) is locally well-posed for data below the energy norm, in particular, we can take data for the gauge potential $A$ and the associated curvature $F$ in $H^s\times H^{s-1}$ and…

In the following article we study the limiting properties of the Yang-Mills flow associated to a holomorphic vector bundle E over an arbitrary compact K\"ahler manifold (X,{\omega}). In particular we show that the flow is determined at…

The Yang-Mills and Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in temporal gauge are locally well-posed for small and rough initial data, which can be shown using the null structure of the critical bilinear terms. This carries over a similar result by Tao…

The gradient flow of the Yang-Mills action acts pointwise on closed loops of gauge fields. We construct a topologically nontrivial loop of SU(2) gauge fields on S4 that is locally stable under the flow. The stable loop is written explicitly…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, not necessarily connected, with Lie algebra $g$, endowed with an adjoint action invariant scalar product, let $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ be a principal $G$-bundle, and pick a…

In order to have a new perspective on the long-standing problem of the mass gap in Yang-Mills theory, we study the quantum Yang-Mills theory in the presence of topologically nontrivial backgrounds in this paper. The topologically stable…

We consider the Hamiltonian formulation of Yang-Mills theory in the Coulomb gauge and apply the recently developed technique of Hamiltonian flows. We formulate a flow equation for the color Coulomb potential which allows for a scaling…

We investigate a sequence of Yang-Mills connections $A_j$ lying in vector bundles $E_j$ over non-collapsed degenerating closed Einstein 4-manifolds $(M_j, g_ j)$ with uniformly bounded Einstein constants and bounded diameters. We establish…

We prove global well-posedness of the $ 3d $ Yang-Mills equation in the temporal gauge in $ H^{\sigma} $ for $ \sigma > \frac{5}{6} $. Unlike related equations, Yang-Mills is not directly amenable to the method of almost conservation laws…

We show that a non-trivial topological effect breaks the conformal invariance of pure Yang-Mills theory. Thus it is possible that classic particle-like solutions exists in pure non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory. We find a static, non-singular…

The 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory with the Pontryagin term included is studied on manifolds with a boundary. Based on the geometry of the universal bundle for Yang-Mills theory, the symplectic structure of this model is exhibited. The…

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…

We show that pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory formulated on certain exotic R^4 from the radial family shows confinement. The condensation of magnetic monopoles and the qualitative form of the Higgs potential are derived from the exotic R^4, e.…

We consider Lie G-valued Yang-Mills fields on the space R x G/H, where G/H is a compact nearly K"ahler six-dimensional homogeneous space, and the manifold R x G/H carries a G_2-structure. After imposing a general G-invariance condition,…

Consideration of some perturbatively calculated gauge-invariant expectation values of local noncomposite operators in pure Yang-Mills theory indicates that those expectation values which are not dimension specific, and which are well…

We initiate the continuum description of a non-perturbative 5d lattice Yang-Mills model with 4d boundaries using the $\varepsilon$-expansion. In its simplest version classically the bulk has an $SU(2)$ gauge symmetry and on the boundary…
