The constraints of N=2 supersymmetry, in combination with several other quite general assumptions, have recently been used to show that N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory has a low energy quantum parameter space symmetry characterised by…

We derive some new relationships between matrix models of Chern-Simons gauge theory and of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. We show that q-integration of the Stieltjes-Wigert matrix model is the discrete matrix model that describes…

The space of Sobolev connections, as it has been introduced for studying the variation of Yang-Mills Lagrangian in the critical dimension $4$, happens not to be weakly sequentially complete in dimension larger than $4$. This is a major…

We find large classes of non-asymptotically flat Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dilaton (EYMD) and Einstein-Yang-Mills-Born-Infeld-Dilaton (EYMBID) black holes in N-dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime expressed in terms of the quasilocal mass.…

In this paper, we study the convergence of Yang-Mills-Higgs fields defined on fiber bundles over Riemann surfaces where the fiber is a compact symplectic manifold and the conformal structure of the Riemann surface is allowed to vary. We…

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 study the stable geodesics of the QFT special K\"ahler geometry ($\equiv$ Seiberg-Witten geometry of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ QFT) using the Myers argument. Complete stable geodesics are quite restricted, and can be described very explicitly.…

We study the weak continuity of two interrelated non-linear partial differential equations, the Yang-Mills equations and the Gau{\ss}-Codazzi-Ricci equations, involving $L^p$-integrable connections. Our key finding is that underlying…

Strongly self-dual Yang-Mills fields in even dimensional spaces are characterised by a set of constraints on the eigenvalues of the Yang-Mills fields $F_{\mu \nu}$. We derive a topological bound on ${\bf R}^8$, $\int_{M} ( F,F )^2 \geq k…

In this note we introduce a Yang-Mills bar equation on complex vector bundles over compact Hermitian manifolds as the Euler-Lagrange equation for a Yang-Mills bar functional. We show the existence of a non-trivial solution of this equation…

The standard expectation is that gauge fixing cannot alter the physics in the physical sector of a Yang-Mills theory. Here we argue that this may not always be true: in an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in which the $SU(2)/U(1)$ coset is…

The potential between a static quark and antiquark in pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is evaluated non-perturbatively through computations on the lattice in the region from short to intermediate distances (0.05 fm < r < 0.8 fm). In the high…

We give a proof of perturbative renormalizability of SU(2) Yang--Mills theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space which is based on the Flow Equations of the renormalization group. The main motivation is to present a proof which does not…

We investigate quantization properties of Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles over homogeneous compact K\"ahler manifolds. This allows us to study operators on Hilbert function spaces using vector bundles in a new way. We show…

Pure Yang-Mills theory on ${\mathbb R} \times S^2$ is analyzed in a gauge-invariant Hamiltonian formalism. Using a suitable coordinatization for the sphere and a gauge-invariant matrix parametrization for the gauge potentials, we develop…

We consider the ``metric-affine-like'' generalization of the Yang-Mills theory (mal-YM) which we first proposed earlier. In this model, the connection is no longer assumed to be compatible with the Hermitian form in the fibers. As a…

The deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation is a complex Hessian equation on compact K\"ahler manifolds that corresponds to the special Lagrangian equation in the context of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry. Recently, Chen proved…

We consider the Yamabe equation on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold and study the condition of stability of solutions. If $(M^m,g)$ is a closed manifold of constant positive scalar curvature, which we normalize to be $m(m-1)$, we…

The set of all possible spherically symmetric magnetic static Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations for an arbitrary compact semi-simple gauge group $G$ was classified in two previous papers. Local analytic solutions near the center and a…
