We study the gradient flow lines of a Yang-Mills-type functional on the space of gauged holomorphic maps $\mathcal{H}(P,X)$, where $P$ is a principal bundle on a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and $X$ is a K\"ahler Hamiltonian $G$-manifold. For…
A surface of codimension higher than one embedded in an ambient space possesses a connection associated with the rotational freedom of its normal vector fields. We examine the Yang-Mills functional associated with this connection. The…
We study k-strings in deformed Yang-Mills (dYM) with SU(N) gauge group in the semiclassically calculable regime on ${\rm I\!R}^3 \times S^1$. Their tensions T$_{\text{k}}$ are computed in two ways: numerically, for $2$ $\le$ N $\le$ $10$,…

We present a geometric formulation of quantum mechanics based on the symplectic structure of the projective Hilbert space. Building upon the standard K\"ahler framework, we introduce an extension in which the symplectic structure is allowed…
A deformed Donaldson-Thomas (dDT) connection is a Hermitian connection of a Hermitian line bundle over a $G_2$-manifold $X$ satisfying a certain nonlinear PDE. This is considered to be the mirror of a (co)associative cycle in the context of…

In this paper, we study Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections (HYM) on a smooth Hermitian vector bundle over compact K\"{a}hler manifold. We calculate the virtual dimension of the moduli space of HYM connections and provide an analytic proof…
Established fundamental physics can be described by fields, which are maps. The source of such a map is space-time, which can be curved due to gravity. The map itself needs to be curved in its gauge field part so as to describe interaction…
We prove several K\"ahlerness criteria for compact Hermitian surfaces under semi-definiteness assumptions on natural Ricci curvatures of the Strominger-Bismut connection. The key tools for proving these results are explicit identities…
