The quantitative behavior of $\alpha$-Yang-Mills-Higgs fields on surfaces

We investigate the blow-up behavior of $\alpha$-Yang--Mills--Higgs ($\alpha$-YMH) fields over closed Riemannian surfaces with the target fiber $F = S^{K-1} \subset \mathbb{R}^K$ being the round sphere, focusing on the establishment of the $\alpha$-energy identity and the no-neck property during the bubbling process. A central innovation is the identification of a hidden Jacobian structure through Hodge decomposition and a new conservation law. Furthermore, we derive a Pohozaev-type identity for $\alpha$-YMH fields, which enables refined control of the energy density. Together, these advances ensure the validity of the $\alpha$-energy identity as $\alpha \to 1$. Our analysis further sharpens the Lorentz space estimates from the $L^{2,\infty}$ to the optimal $L^{2,1}$ scale, ultimately yielding the no-neck property in the blow-up regime. These results provide a unified and quantitative framework for understanding singularity formation in variational gauge theories.

Variational aspects of the generalized Seiberg-Witten functional

In this paper, as a step towards a unified mathematical treatment of the gauge functionals from quantum field theory that have found profound applications in mathematics, we generalize the Seiberg-Witten functional that in particular includes the Kapustin-Witten functional as a special case. We first demonstrate the smoothness of weak solutions to this generalized functional. We then establish the existence of weak solutions under the assumption that the structure group of the bundle is abelian, by verifying the Palais-Smale compactness.

The boundary value problem for Yang--Mills--Higgs fields

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 $\alpha$-YMH fields as $\alpha\to 1$. For $\alpha>1$, each $\alpha$-YMH field is shown to be smooth up to the boundary under some gauge transformation. This is achieved by showing a regularity theorem for more general coupled systems, which extends the classical results of Ladyzhenskaya-Ural'ceva and Morrey.
