Abstract We study isolated singularities of 2D Yang–Mills–Higgs (YMH) 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 cannot be removed due to possibly non-vanishing limit holonomy around the singular points. We establish a sharp asymptotic decay estimate of the YMH field near a singular point, where the decay rate is precisely determined by the limit holonomy. Our result can be viewed as a generalization of the classical removable singularity theorem of 2D harmonic maps.

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.

We study the regularity of weak solution for the Navier–Stokes equations in the class L∞( BMO-1). It is proved that the weak solution in L∞( BMO-1) is regular if it satisfies a mild assumption on the vorticity direction, or it is axisymmetric. A removable singularity theorem in ∈ L∞( VMO-1) is also proved.

We study the Lévy infinite-dimensional differential operators (differential operators defined by the analogy with the Lévy Laplacian) and their relationship to the Yang–Mills equations. We consider the parallel transport on the space of curves as an infinite-dimensional analogue of chiral fields and show that it is a solution to the system of differential equations if and only if the associated connection is a solution to the Yang–Mills equations. This system is an analogue of the equations of motion of chiral fields and contains the Lévy divergence. The systems of infinite-dimensional equations containing Lévy differential operators, that are equivalent to the Yang–Mills–Higgs equations and the Yang–Mills–Dirac equations (the equations of quantum chromodynamics), are obtained. The equivalence of two ways to define Lévy differential operators is shown.

In (5) it is shown that if m ≽ 3 then there is no non-constant harmonic map φ: ℝm → Sn with finite energy. The method of proof makes use of the fact that the energy functional is not invariant under conformal transformations. This fact has also allowed Xin(9), to show that any non-constant-harmonic map φ:Sm → (N, h), m ≽ 3, is not stable in the sense of having non-negative second variation.
