We prove parabolic versions of several known gap theorems in classical Yang-Mills theory. On an $\mathrm{SU}(r)$-bundle of charge $\kappa$ over the 4-sphere, we show that the space of all connections with Yang-Mills energy less than $4…

We prove that energy minimizing Yang-Mills connections on a compact $G_{2}$-manifold has holonomy equal to $G_{2}$ are $G_{2}$-instantons, subject to an extra condition on the curvature. Furthermore, we show that energy minimizing…

We study the question of whether a sequence of non-instanton Yang-Mills connections can limit to a bubbling configuration composed only of instantons. In the case that the Uhlenbeck limit and the bubbles are of opposite charge, we determine…

We consider an eight-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills theory to explore whether Yang-Mills instantons formed in extra dimensions can induce the dynamical instability of our four-dimensional spacetime. We show that the Yang-Mills instantons…

Given a bundle gerbe with connection on an oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension at least equal to 3, we formulate and study the associated Yang-Mills equations. When the Riemannian manifold is compact and oriented, we prove the…

We investigate Yang-Mills instantons on a 7-dimensional manifold of G_2 holonomy. By proposing a spherically symmetric ansatz for the Yang-Mills connection, we have ordinary differential equations as the reduced instanton equation, and give…

We consider the Hermitian Yang-Mills (instanton) equations for connections on vector bundles over a 2n-dimensional K\"ahler manifold X which is a product Y x Z of p- and q-dimensional Riemannian manifold Y and Z with p+q=2n. We show that in…

When eight-dimensional instantons, satisfying F \wedge F = \pm \star_8 (F\wedge F), shrink to zero size, we find stringy objects in higher order ten-dimensional Yang-Mills (viewed as a low-energy limit of open string theory). The associated…

We explore the low energy dynamics of charge two instantons and dyonic instantons in SU(2) 5-dimensional Yang-Mills. We make use of the moduli space approximation and first calculate the moduli space metric for two instantons. For dyonic…

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 use the direct minimizing method to find Yang-Mills connections for $SO(3)$ bundles over closed four manifolds. By constructing test connections, we prove that a minimizing sequence converges strongly to a minimizer under…

We investigate a sequence of Yang-Mills connections $A_j$ lying in vector bundles $E_j$ over non-collapsed degenerating closed Einstein 4-manifolds $(M_j, g_ j)$ with uniformly bounded Einstein constants and bounded diameters. We establish…

We report results obtained for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on a four dimensional torus with two directions much smaller than the other two. The small 2-torus is equipped with twisted boundary conditions. This construction provides a way to…

We consider the minimum Yang-Mills energy on the complete $G_{2}$-manifolds and Calabi-Yau 3-folds,the connection $A$ is a stability Yang-Mills connection on the $G$-bundle $E$.We prove that the connection must be a $G_{2}$-instanton on…

This is a self-contained set of lecture notes on instantons in (super) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and in quantum mechanics. First the basics are derived from scratch: the regular and singular one-instanton solutions for Yang-Mills…

We explore the correspondence between Yang-Mills instantons and algebraic curves. The curve is defined by Higgs zero locus of dyonic instantons in 1+4 dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, and it is identified in string theory with the…

We revisit the problem of constructing instantons on ADE orbifolds R^4/\Gamma and point out some subtle relations with the complex structure on the orbifold. We consider generalized instanton equations on R^4/\Gamma which are BPS equations…

This paper is one step toward infinite energy gauge theory and the geometry of infinite dimensional moduli spaces. We generalize a gluing construction in the usual Yang-Mills gauge theory to an ``infinite energy'' situation. We show that we…

An instanton $(E, D)$ on a (pseudo-)hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$ is a vector bundle $E$ associated to a principal $G$-bundle with a connection $D$ whose curvature is pointwise invariant under the quaternionic structures of $T_x M, \ x\in M$,…

We study the minimization problem for the Yang-Mills energy under fixed boundary connection in supercritical dimension $n\geq 5$. We define the natural function space A_{G} in which to formulate this problem in analogy to the space of…
