Motivated by the future stability problem of solutions of the Einstein--Yang--Mills (EYM) system with arbitrary dimension, we aim to (1) construct a tensorial symmetric hyperbolic formulation for the $(n+1)$-dimensional EYM system in the…

In this article we study the moduli space of conically singular instantons (or Hermitian Yang--Mills connections) with prescribed tangent connections over a 6-manifold equipped with an $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure. That is, we develop a…

We construct a classical solution of an Einstein-Yang-Mills system with a fourth order term with respect to the field strength of the Yang-Mills field. The solution provides a spontaneous compactification proposed by Cremmer and Scherk;…

We study the question of the integrability of Einstein deformations and relate it to the question of the desingularization of Einstein metrics. Our main application is a negative answer to the long-standing question of whether or not every…

We consider Yang--Mills theory with a compact structure group $G$ on four-dimensional de Sitter space dS$_4$. Using conformal invariance, we transform the theory from dS$_4$ to the finite cylinder ${\cal I}\times S^3$, where ${\cal…

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…

We investigate deformations of extremal near-horizon geometries in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory, including various topological terms, and also in D=11 supergravity. By linearizing the field equations and Bianchi identities over the…

We examine the problem of counting bound states of BPS black holes on local Calabi-Yau threefolds which are fibrations over a Riemann surface by computing the partition function of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the Riemann surface. We…

It was shown that Yang-Mills instantons on an internal space can trigger the expansion of our four-dimensional universe as well as the dynamical compactification of the internal space. We generalize the instanton-induced inflation and…

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 construct nearly topological Yang-Mills theories on eight dimensional manifolds with a special holonomy group. These manifolds are the Joyce manifold with $Spin(7)$ holonomy and the Calabi-Yau manifold with SU(4) holonomy. An invariant…

We study the Yang-Mills flow on a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact Kahler manifold X . Along a solution of the flow, we show the curvature $i\Lambda F(A_t)$ approaches in $L^2$ an endomorphism with constant eigenvalues given by…

We prove that the Yang-Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two-dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a…

We study N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a Kaehler manifold with $b_2^+ \geq 3$. Adding suitable perturbations we show that the partition function of the N=4 theory is the sum of contributions from two branches: (i) instantons, (ii)…
