Fixing a constant $\lambda>0$, for any parameter $\varepsilon>0$ we study critical points of the Yang--Mills--Higgs energy \[ \mathcal{Y}_{\varepsilon}(\nabla,\Phi) = \int_M \varepsilon^2|F_{\nabla}|^2 + |\nabla\Phi|^2 +…

Given a principal bundle $P\to M$ over a Riemannian manifold with compact structure group $G$, let us consider a stationary Yang-Mills connection $A$ with energy $\int_M |F_A|^2\le \Lambda$. If we consider a sequence of such connections…
We prove that the Yang-Mills $\alpha$-functional satisfies the Palais-Smale condition. This guarantees the existence of critical points, which are called Yang-Mills $\alpha$-connections. It was shown by Hong, Tian and Yin in [10] (to appear…
We prove that if an N-vortex pair nearly minimizes the Yang-Mills-Higgs energy, then it is second order close to a minimizer. First we use new weighted inequalities in two dimensions and compactness arguments to show stability for sections…

The stability of Yang-Mills bundles over the usual $S^4$ space-time manifold is investigated according to the topological methods. The necessary gauge- and topological invaraint criterion for the exsitence of the related critical points is…
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…

In this paper, we study the critical points of $F$-Yang-Mills functional on $\mathbb{C}P^n$, which are called $F$-Yang-Mills connections, which is a generalization of Yang-Mills connections. We prove that if…
In this paper we study (static) solutions of the rank 2 Yang-Mills-Higgs equations on the Riemann sphere, with concical singularities, that bifurcate from constant curvature connections. We focus attention on the case where there are…
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…
Consider a Yang-Mills connection over a Riemann manifold $M=M^n$, $n\ge 3$, where $M$ may be compact or complete. Then its energy must be bounded from below by some positive constant, if $M$ satisfies certain conditions, unless the…
The main result of this paper is a construction of solutions to the reverse Yang-Mills-Higgs flow converging in the $C^\infty$ topology to a critical point. The construction uses only the complex gauge group action, which leads to an…
Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, being the standard-model Higgs sector for a suitable choice of gauge and custodial group, offers a rich set of physics. In particular, in some region of its parameter space it has QCD-like behavior, while in some…
