The equivalence of the anti-selfduality Yang–Mills equations on the four-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold and the Laplace equations for some infinite-dimensional Laplacians is proved. A class of modified Lévy Laplacians parameterized by the choice of a curve in the group [Formula: see text] is introduced. It is shown that a connection is an instanton (a solution of the anti-selfduality Yang–Mills equations) if and only if the parallel transport generalized by this connection is a solution of the Laplace equations for some three modified Lévy Laplacians from this class.

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.

The Relationship

The relationship between the Yang–Mills equations and the stochastic analogue of Lévy differential operators is studied. The value of the stochastic Lévy–Laplacian is found by means of Cèsaro averaging of directional derivatives on the stochastic parallel transport. It is shown that the Yang–Mills equations and the Lévy–Laplace equation for such Laplacian are not equivalent in contrast to the deterministic case. An equation equivalent to the Yang–Mills equations is obtained. The equation contains the Lévy divergence. It is proved that the Yang–Mills action functional can be represented as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Direchlet functional of a chiral field. This analogue is also derived using Cèsaro averaging.

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.

Cohomological Interpretation

The equations of motion of quantum Yang–Mills theory (in the planar "large-N" limit), when formulated in loop-space are shown to have an anomalous term, which makes them analogous to the equations of motion of WZW models. The anomaly is the Jacobian of the change of variables from the usual ones, i.e. the connection one-form A, to the holonomy U. An infinite-dimensional Lie algebra related to this change of variables (the Lie algebra of loop substitutions) is developed, and the anomaly is interpreted as an element of the first cohomology of this Lie algebra. The Migdal–Makeenko equations are shown to be the condition for the invariance of the Yang–Mills generating functional Z under the action of the generators of this Lie algebra. Connections of this formalism to the collective field approach of Jevicki and Sakita are also discussed.

We suggest an infinite-dimensional extension of gauge transformations which includes non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. In this extension of the Yang–Mills theory the vector gauge boson becomes a member of a bigger family of gauge bosons of arbitrarily large integer spins. The invariant Lagrangian does not contain higher derivatives of tensor gauge fields and all interactions take place through three- and four-particle exchanges with dimensionless coupling constant.

AbstractArea-dependent quantum field theory is a modification of two-dimensional topological quantum field theory, where one equips each connected component of a bordism with a positive real number—interpreted as area—which behaves additively under glueing. As opposed to topological theories, in area-dependent theories the state spaces can be infinite-dimensional. We introduce the notion of regularised Frobenius algebras in Hilbert spaces and show that area-dependent theories are in one-to-one correspondence to commutative regularised Frobenius algebras. We also provide a state sum construction for area-dependent theories. Our main example is two-dimensional Yang–Mills theory with compact gauge group, which we treat in detail.

AbstractThis paper is one step toward infinite energy gauge theory and the geometry of infinite dimensional moduli spaces. We generalize a gluing construction in the usual Yang-Mills gauge theory to an “infinite energy” situation. We show that we can glue an infinite number of instantons, and that the resulting ASD connections have infinite energy in general. Moreover they have an infinite dimensional parameter space. Our construction is a generalization of Donaldson’s “alternating method”.

Abstract Given a Hermitian line bundle $$L\rightarrow M$$ L → M over a closed, oriented Riemannian manifold M, we study the asymptotic behavior, as $$\epsilon \rightarrow 0$$ ϵ → 0 , of couples $$(u_\epsilon ,\nabla _\epsilon )$$ ( u ϵ , ∇ ϵ ) critical for the rescalings $$\begin{aligned} E_\epsilon (u,\nabla )=\int _M\Big (|\nabla u|^2+\epsilon ^2|F_\nabla |^2+\frac{1}{4\epsilon ^2}(1-|u|^2)^2\Big ) \end{aligned}$$ E ϵ ( u , ∇ ) = ∫ M ( | ∇ u | 2 + ϵ 2 | F ∇ | 2 + 1 4 ϵ 2 ( 1 - | u | 2 ) 2 ) of the self-dual Yang–Mills–Higgs energy, where u is a section of L and $$\nabla $$ ∇ is a Hermitian connection on L with curvature $$F_{\nabla }$$ F ∇ . Under the natural assumption $$\limsup _{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}E_\epsilon (u_\epsilon ,\nabla _\epsilon )<\infty $$ lim sup ϵ → 0 E ϵ ( u ϵ , ∇ ϵ ) < ∞ , we show that the energy measures converge subsequentially to (the weight measure $$\mu $$ μ of) a stationary integral $$(n-2)$$ ( n - 2 ) -varifold. Also, we show that the $$(n-2)$$ ( n - 2 ) -currents dual to the curvature forms converge subsequentially to $$2\pi \Gamma $$ 2 π Γ , for an integral $$(n-2)$$ ( n - 2 ) -cycle $$\Gamma $$ Γ with $$|\Gamma |\le \mu $$ | Γ | ≤ μ . Finally, we provide a variational construction of nontrivial critical points $$(u_\epsilon ,\nabla _\epsilon )$$ ( u ϵ , ∇ ϵ ) on arbitrary line bundles, satisfying a uniform energy bound. As a byproduct, we obtain a PDE proof, in codimension two, of Almgren’s existence result for (nontrivial) stationary integral $$(n-2)$$ ( n - 2 ) -varifolds in an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold.

AbstractIn this paper we lift Pestov's Identity on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold M to the bundle of k-tuples of tangent vectors. We also derive an integrated version and a restriction to the frame bundle PkM of k-frames. Finally, we discuss a dynamical application for the parallel transport on $\cal{G}_{or}^{k} (M)$, the Grassmannian of oriented k-planes of M.
