We prove several abstract versions of the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality for an analytic functional on a Banach space that generalize previous abstract versions of this inequality, weakening their hypotheses and, in particular, the…

A result (Corollary 4.3) in an article by Uhlenbeck (1985) asserts that the $W^{1,p}$-distance between the gauge-equivalence class of a connection $A$ and the moduli subspace of flat connections $M(P)$ on a principal $G$-bundle $P$ over a…

We generalize our previous results (Theorem 1 and Corollary 2 in arXiv:1412.4114) and Theorem 1 in arXiv:1502.00668) on the existence of an $L^2$-energy gap for Yang-Mills connections over closed four-dimensional manifolds and energies near…

In this note, we prove an ${L^{\frac{n}{2}}}$-energy gap result for Yang-Mills connections on a principal $G$-bundle over a compact manifold without using Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality (arXiv:1502.00668).

We extend an $L^2$ energy gap result due independently to Min-Oo and Parker (1982) for Yang-Mills connections on principal $G$-bundles, $P$, over closed, connected, four-dimensional, oriented, smooth manifolds, $X$, from the case of…

It is a consequence of the Morse-Bott Lemma on Banach spaces that a smooth Morse-Bott function on an open neighborhood of a critical point in a Banach space obeys a Lojasiewicz gradient inequality with the optimal exponent one half. In this…

We apply our abstract gradient inequalities developed by the authors in arXiv:1510.03817 to prove Lojasiewicz--Simon gradient inequalities for the harmonic map energy function using Sobolev spaces which impose minimal regularity…

We provide sufficient conditions for the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality to hold on a submanifold of a Banach space and discuss the optimality of our assumptions. Our result provides a tool to study asymptotic properties of…

The symplectic vortex equations admit a variational description as global minimum of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional. We study its negative gradient flow on holomorphic pairs $(A,u)$ where $A$ is a connection on a principal $G$-bundle $P$…

We consider a vector bundle $E$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $M$=$M^{n}$,$n\geq 4$,and $A$ is a Yang-Mills connection with $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$ curvature $F_{A}$ on $E$.Then we prove a mean value inequality for the density…

On a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ we extend the known analytic results on Yang-Mills connections to the class of connections called $\Omega$-Yang-Mills connections, where $\Omega$ is a smooth, not necessarily closed, $(n-4)$-form.…

We lay the foundations of a Morse homology on the space of connections on a principal $G$-bundle over a compact manifold $Y$, based on a newly defined gauge-invariant functional $\mathcal J$. While the critical points of $\mathcal J$…

We consider the Abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs functional, in the non-self dual scaling, on a complex line bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. This functional is the natural generalisation of the Ginzburg-Landau model…

We prove Lojasiewicz inequalities for the harmonic map energy for maps from surfaces of positive genus into general analytic target manifolds which are close to simple bubble trees and as a consequence obtain new results on the convergence…

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…

Sengupta's lower bound for the Yang-Mills action on smooth connections on a bundle over a Riemann surface generalizes to the space of connections whose action is finite. In this larger space the inequality can always be saturated. The…
