We investigate the long-time dynamics for the global solution of the $SO(4)$-equivariant Yang-Mills heat flow (YMHF) with structure group $SU(2)$ in space dimension $4$. For a class of initial data with specific decay at spatial infinity,…
We establish various existence and uniqueness results for the Yang-Mills flow on cylindrical end 4-manifolds. We also show long-time existence and infinite-time convergence under certain hypotheses on the underlying data.
Several results on existence and convergence of the Yang-Mills flow in dimension four are given. We show that a singularity modeled on an instanton cannot form within finite time. Given low initial self-dual energy, we then study…
This paper develops Yang-Mills flow on Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. By analogy with the second-named author's thesis, we find that a supremum bound on a certain curvature component is sufficient to rule out finite-time…
In this paper, we study the blow-up of a sequence of Yang-Mills connection with bounded energy on a four manifold. We prove a set of equations relating the geometry of the bubble connection at the infinity with the geometry of the limit…
We define a family of functionals generalizing the Yang-Mills functional. We study the corresponding gradient flows and prove long-time existence and convergence results for subcritical dimensions as well as a bubbling criterion for the…
This is the first part of the four-paper sequence, which establishes the Threshold Conjecture and the Soliton Bubbling vs.~Scattering Dichotomy for the energy critical hyperbolic Yang--Mills equation in the (4 + 1)-dimensional Minkowski…
We establish that finite-time singularities do not occur in four-dimensional Yang-Mills flow, confirming the conjecture of Schlatter, Struwe, and Tahvildar-Zadeh. The proof relies on a weighted energy identity and sharp decay estimates in…
In this paper, we consider the heat flow for Yang-Mills connections on $\mathbb{R}^5 \times SO(5)$. In the $SO(5)-$equivariant setting, the Yang-Mills heat equation reduces to a single semilinear reaction-diffusion equation for which an…
In this paper, we shall prove that, on a non-flat Riemannian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold, the smooth solution of the Yang-Mills flow will blow up in finite time if the energy of the initial connection is small enough.…
In this paper, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of solutions for the Yang-Mills flow on $\mathbb{R}^n \times SO(n)$ for $5 \leq n \leq 9$, which converge to $SO(n)$-equivariant homothetically shrinking solitons, modulo the gauge…
We consider the $SO(d)$-equivariant Yang-Mills heat flow \begin{equation*} \partial_t u-\partial_r^2 u-\frac{(d-3)}{r}\partial_r u+\frac{(d-2)}{r^2}u(1-u)(2-u)=0 \end{equation*} in dimensions $d>10.$ We construct a family of…
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…
In this monograph, we develop results on global existence and convergence of solutions to abstract gradient flows on Banach spaces for a potential function that obeys the Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality. We prove a Lojasiewicz-Simon…
This article represents the fourth and final part of a four-paper sequence whose aim is to prove the Threshold Conjecture as well as the more general Dichotomy Theorem for the energy critical $4+1$ dimensional hyperbolic Yang--Mills…
A covariant definition of the Levy Laplacian on an infinite dimensional manifold is introduced. It is shown that a time-depended connection in a finite dimensional vector bundle is a solution of the Yang-Mills heat equations if and only if…
We present a quantitative analysis of Yang-Mills thermodynamics in 4D flat spacetime. The focus is on the gauge group SU(2). Results for SU(3) are mentioned in passing. Although all essential arguments and results were reported elsewhere we…
Under the validity of the positive mass theorem, the Yamabe flow on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $N \ge 3$ is known to exist for all time $t$ and converges to a solution to the Yamabe problem as $t \to \infty$. We prove…
In this paper we show how hypercomplex function theoretical objects can be used to construct explicitly self-dual SU(2)-Yang-Mills instanton solutions on certain classes of conformally flat 4-manifolds. We use a hypercomplex argument…
We prove a sharp convergence theorem for the Yang-Mills flow on an $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{U}(r)$-bundle over a locally hyperK\"ahler ALE 4-manifold. Our main result is a noncompact version of the "parabolic gap theorem" previously established…
