SynopsisWe consider the Yang–Mills functional denned on connections on a principal bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 2 or 3. It is shown that if we consider the Yang–Mills functional as being defined on an appropriate Hilbert manifold of orbits of connections under the action of the group of principal bundle automorphisms, then the functional satisfies the Palais–Smale condition.

The objective of this paper is to prove the existence of a global solution to a certain stochastic partial differential equation subject to the [Formula: see text]-norm being constrained. The corresponding evolution equation can be seen as the projection of the unconstrained problem onto the tangent space of the unit sphere [Formula: see text] in a Hilbert space [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe study the action functional associated to a smooth Lagrangian function on the tangent bundle of a manifold, having quadratic growth in the velocities. We show that, although the action functional is in general not twice differentiable on the Hilbert manifold consisting of H

We consider bordered Riemann surfaces which are biholomorphic to compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with n regions biholomorphic to the disk removed. We define a refined Teichmüller space of such Riemann surfaces (which we refer to as the WP-class Teichmüller space) and demonstrate that in the case that 2g + 2 - n > 0, this refined Teichmüller space is a Hilbert manifold. The inclusion map from the refined Teichmüller space into the usual Teichmüller space (which is a Banach manifold) is holomorphic. We also show that the rigged moduli space of Riemann surfaces with non-overlapping holomorphic maps, appearing in conformal field theory, is a complex Hilbert manifold. This result requires an analytic reformulation of the moduli space, by enlarging the set of non-overlapping mappings to a class of maps intermediate between analytically extendible maps and quasiconformally extendible maps. Finally, we show that the rigged moduli space is the quotient of the refined Teichmüller space by a properly discontinuous group of biholomorphisms.
