In this paper, we introduce some notions on the pair consisting of a Chern connection and a Higgs field closely related to the first and second variation of Yang-Mills- Higgs functional, such as strong Yang-Mills-Higgs pair, degenerate Yang-Mills-Higgs pair, stable Yang-Mills-Higgs pair. We investigate some properties …

A local monotonicity formula for the Yang-Mills-Higgs flow on $G$-bundles over $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ ($n>4$) is proved. It is shown that the monotone quantity coïncides on certain self-similar solutions with that appearing in existing non-local monotonicity formulæ for the Yang-Mills and Yang-Mills-Higgs flows.

Let $X$ be a compact connected Kähler--Einstein manifold with $c_1(TX)\, \geq\, 0$. If there is a semistable Higgs vector bundle $(E\,,θ)$ on $X$ with $θ\,\not=\,0$, then we show that $c_1(TX)=0$, any $X$ satisfying this condition is called a Calabi--Yau manifold, and it admits a Ricci--flat Kähler form \cite{Ya}. Let …

In this paper, we consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional for Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E, H_{0})$ over a compact Kähler manifold $(M, ω)$. We study the asymptotic behavior of the Yang-Mills-Higgs flow for Higgs pairs at infinity, and show that the limiting Higgs sheaf is isomorph…

Let (E, \varphi) be a flat Higgs bundle on a compact special affine manifold M equipped with an affine Gauduchon metric. We prove that (E, \varphi) is polystable if and only if it admits an affine Yang-Mills-Higgs metric.

New flow for Yang-Mills-Higgs theory avoids singularities.

We study isolated singularities of two dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs fields defined on a fiber bundle, where the fiber space is a compact Riemannian manifold and the structure group is a compact connected Lie group. In general the singularity can not be removed due to possibly non-vanishing limit holonomy around the sin…

Proposes a new gauge theory for fuzzy geometries using finite-dimensional algebras.

We extend Eardley and Moncrief's $L^\infty$ estimates for the conformally invariant Yang-Mills-Higgs equations to the Einstein cylinder. Our method is to first work on Minkowski space and localise their estimates, and then carry them to the Einstein cylinder by a conformal transformation. By patching local estimates to…

We investigate monotonicity properties of $p$-harmonic vector bundle-valued $k$-forms by studying the energy-momentum tensor associated with such a form. As a consequence, we obtain a unified proof of the monotonicity formulæ for $p$-harmonic maps and Yang-Mills connections, proving a monotonicity formula for $p$-Yang-…

We show the existence of Yang--Mills--Higgs (YMH) fields over a Riemann surface with boundary where a free boundary condition is imposed on the section and a Neumann boundary condition on the connection. In technical terms, we study the convergence and blow-up behavior of a sequence of Sacks-Uhlenbeck type $α$-YMH fiel…

In this paper we introduce a set of equations on a principal bundle over a compact complex manifold coupling a connection on the principal bundle, a section of an associated bundle with Kähler fibre, and a Kähler structure on the base. These equations are a generalization of the Kähler-Yang-Mills equations introduced b…

In this paper we give an overview of different Morse-theoretic methods used to study the topology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles.

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 algebraic classification of the isomorphism classes of points in the unstable set of a…

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 show that away from the nodes, the YMH fields converges, up to gauge, to a smooth Y…

We consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional of twist Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E,H_0)$ over a Riemann surface $X$. It is already known the gradient flow with initial data $(A_0,φ_0)$ converges to a critical point $(A_\infty, φ_\infty)$ of this functional. Using a modified Chern-Wei…

The study finds critical points of Yang-Mills-Higgs energy on 3-manifolds.

Our aim in this work is to study a system of equations which generalises at the same time the vortex equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and the holomorphicity equation in Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. We extend some results and definitions from both theories to a common setting. We introduce a functional…

In this paper we consider $\rm SU(2)$ monopoles on an asymptotically conical, oriented, Riemannian $3$-manifold with one end. The connected components of the moduli space of monopoles in this setting are labeled by an integer called the charge. We analyse the limiting behavior of sequences of monopoles with fixed charg…

Integrability of the (2+1)-dimensional Gauss-Codazzi-Mainardi equation is considered. It is shown that this equation is the particular cases of the Yang-Mills-Higgs-Bogomolny and self-dual Yang-Mills equations.

The symplectic vortex equations admit a variational description as global minimum of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional. We study its negative gradient flow on holomorphic pairs $(A,u)$ where $A$ is a connection on a principal $G$-bundle $P$ over a closed Riemann surface $Σ$ and $u: P \rightarrow X$ is an equivariant map …

We establish global existence of smooth solutions to heat flow for Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on Kahler fibrations. As an application, we give a new proof of the key inequality for Mundet's Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence theorem using the heat flow technique.

In this note, by using the Yang-Mills-Higgs flow, we show that semistable Higgs bundles with vanishing the first and second Chern numbers over compact Käher manifolds must admit a filtration whose quotients are Hermitian flat Higgs bundles.

New approach to principal groupoid bundles with connections using dg-Lie groupoids.

In this paper we study spherically symmetric monopoles, which are critical points for the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional over a disk in 3 dimensions, with prescribed degree and covariant constant at the boundary. This is a 3-dimensional gauge-theory generalization of the Ginzburg-Landau model in 2 dimensions.

In this article, we study the Higgs vector bundles $(E,θ)$ over a compact Calabi-Yau manifolds $X$. We use Yang-Mills-Higgs flow to prove that if a semistable Higgs bundle with vanishing Chern classes over a compact connected Calabi-Yau manifold, then the Higgs field $θ$ is trivial. In particular, the vector bundle $E$…

Generalising the results in arXiv:1612.00281, we construct infinite-dimensional families of non-singular stationary space times, solutions of Yang-Mills-Higgs-Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons-dilaton-scalar field equations with a negative cosmological constant. The families include an infinite-dimensional family of soluti…

We prove a theorem on singular symplectic cotangent bundle reduction in the Fréchet setting and apply it to Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with special emphasis on the Higgs sector of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. For the latter model we give a detailed description of the reduced phase space and show that the singular str…

We develop a new method for proving regularity for small energy stationary solutions of coupled gauge field equations. Our results duplicate those of Tian--Tao [7] for the pure Yang Mills equations, but our proof is simpler, and obtains bounded curvature without the use of Coulomb gauges. It relies instead on the Weitz…

This paper presents relevant modern mathematical formulations for (classical) gauge field theories, namely, ordinary differential geometry, noncommutative geometry, and transitive Lie algebroids. They provide rigorous frameworks to describe Yang-Mills-Higgs theories or gravitation theories, and each of them improves th…
