In this paper, we study the non-Hermitian Yang-Mills (NHYM for short) bundles over compact Kähler manifolds. We show that the existence of harmonic metrics is equivalent to the semisimplicity of NHYM bundles, which confirms the Conjecture 8.7 in \cite{KV}.
In this paper, we study the hypercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation on compact Kähler manifolds and resolve two conjectures of Collins-Yau.
In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the Hermitian-Yang-Mills flow over a compact non-Kähler manifold $(X,g)$ with the Hermitian metric $g$ satisfying the Gauduchon and Astheno-Kähler condition.
We construct local examples of singular Hermitian Yang-Mills connections over $B_1\subset \mathbb{C}^3$ with uniformly bounded $L^2$-energy, but the number of essential singular points can be arbitrarily large.
In this work, we study the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation on compact Kähler manifold. We introduce the notions of coerciveness and properness of the $\mathcal{J}$-functional on the space of almost calibrated $(1,1)$-forms and show that they are both equivalent to the existence of solutions to the hypercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation.
In this paper, we investigate the Chern number inequalities on $4$-dimensional Kähler manifolds admitting the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics under the assumption $\hatθ\in (π,2π)$.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the parabolic deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation with hypercritical phase in a smooth domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$. By using $J$-functional, we are able to prove the convergence of solutions. As an application, we give an alternative proof of the Dirichlet problem for deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation.
In this paper, we extend a result of Gao Chen regarding the solvability of the twisted deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills equations on compact Kähler manifolds to allow for the twisting function to be non-constant and slightly negative in all dimensions. Using this result, we prove that the twisted supercritical dHYM equation on compact, projective manifolds can be solved provided certain numerical conditions are satisfied.
In this paper we study the analytic tangent cones of admissible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections near a homogeneous singularity of a reflexive sheaf, and relate it to the Harder-Narasimhan-Seshadri filtration. We also give an algebro-geometric characterization of the bubbling set. This strengthens our previous result.
In this paper, we study the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation on compact Kähler manifold with non-negative orthogonal bisectional curvature. We prove that the curvatures of deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics are parallel with respect to the background metric if there exists a positive constant $C$ such that $-\frac{1}{C}ω<\sqrt{-1}F<Cω$. We also study the self-shrinker over $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the corresponding parabolic flow. We prove that the self-shrinker over $\mathbb{C}^n$ is a quadratic polynomial function. We also show the similar rigid theorem for the J-equations and the self-shr…
We give an algebraic criterion for the existence of projectively Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics on a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over some complete non-compact Kähler manifolds $(X,ω)$, where $X$ is the complement of a divisor in a compact Kähler manifold and we impose some conditions on the cohomology class and the asymptotic behaviour of the Kähler form $ω$. We introduce the notion of stability with respect to a pair of $(1,1)$-classes which generalizes the standard slope stability. We prove that this new stability condition is both sufficient and necessary for the existence of projectively …
In this paper, we consider the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation on closed almost Hermitian manifolds. In the case of hypercritical phase, we derive a priori estimates under the existence of an admissible $\mathcal{C}$-subsolution. As an application, we prove the existence of solutions for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation under the condition of existence of a supersolution.
From string theory, the notion of deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills connections has been introduced by Mariño, Minasian, Moore and Strominger. After that, Leung, Yau and Zaslow proved that it naturally appears as mirror objects of special Lagrangian submanifolds via Fourier-Mukai transform between dual torus fibrations. In their paper, some conditions are imposed for simplicity. In this paper, data to glue their construction on tropical manifolds are proposed and a generalization of the correspondence is proved without the assumption that the Lagrangian submanifold is a section of the torus fibrat…
Let $(X, ω)$ be a compact connected Hermitian manifold of dimension $n$. We consider the Bott-Chern cohomology and let $[χ] \in H^{1,1}_{\text{BC}}(X; \mathbb{R})$. We study the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation, which is the following nonlinear elliptic equation $\sum_{i} \arctan (λ_i) = h(x)$, where $λ_i$ are the eigenvalues of $χ$ with respect to $ω$.
The deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation is a complex Hessian equation on compact Kähler manifolds that corresponds to the special Lagrangian equation in the context of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry. Recently, Chen proved that the existence of the solution is equivalent to a uniform stability condition in terms of holomorphic intersection numbers along test families. In this paper, we establish an analogous stability result not involving a uniform constant in accordance with a recent work on the $J$-equation by Song, which makes further progress toward Collins-Jacob-Yau's origina…
In this paper we give a complete algebro-geometric characterization of analytic tangent cones of admissible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections over any reflexive sheaves.
This paper begins to study the limiting behavior of a family of Hermitian Yang-Mills (HYM for brevity) metrics on a class of rank two slope stable vector bundles over a product of two elliptic curves with Kähler metrics $ω_ε$ when $ε\to 0$. Here $ω_ε$ are flat and have areas $ε$ and $ε^{-1}$ on the two elliptic curves respectively. A family of Hermitian metrics on the vector bundle are explicitly constructed and with respect to them, the HYM metrics are normalized. We then compare the family of normalized HYM metrics with the family of constructed Hermitian metrics by doing estimates. We get t…
On a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ we extend the known analytic results on Yang-Mills connections to the class of connections called $Ω$-Yang-Mills connections, where $Ω$ is a smooth, not necessarily closed, $(n-4)$-form. Special cases include $Ω$-anti-self-dual connections and Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections over general complex manifolds. By a key observation, a weak compactness result is obtained for moduli space of smooth $Ω$-Yang-Mills connections with uniformly $L^2$ bounded curvature, and it can be improved in the case of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections over general complex man…
We give an example of a homogeneous reflexive sheaf over $\mathbb{C}^3$ which admits a non-conical Hermitian Yang-Mills connection. This is expected to model bubbling phenomenon along complex codimension 2 submanifolds when the Fueter section takes zero value.
Let $X\rightarrow {\mathbb P}^1$ be an elliptically fibered $K3$ surface, admitting a sequence $ω_{i}$ of Ricci-flat metrics collapsing the fibers. Let $V$ be a holomorphic $SU(n)$ bundle over $X$, stable with respect to $ω_i$. Given the corresponding sequence $Ξ_i$ of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on $V$, we prove that, if $E$ is a generic fiber, the restricted sequence $Ξ_i|_{E}$ converges to a flat connection $A_0$. Furthermore, if the restriction $V|_E$ is of the form $\oplus_{j=1}^n\mathcal O_E(q_j-0)$ for $n$ distinct points $q_j\in E$, then these points uniquely determine $A_0$.
This is the first of a series of papers where we relate tangent cones of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections at an isolated singularity to the complex algebraic geometry of the underlying reflexive sheaf, when the sheaf is locally modelled on the pull-back of a holomorphic vector bundle from the projective space. In this paper we shall impose an extra assumption that the graded sheaf determined by the Harder-Narasimhan-Seshadri filtrations of the vector bundle is reflexive. In general we conjecture that the tangent cone is uniquely determined by the double dual of the associated graded object of …
We survey some recent progress on the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills (dHYM) equation. We discuss the role of geometric invariant theory (GIT) in approaching the solvability of the dHYM equation, following work of the first author and S.-T. Yau. We compare the GIT picture with the conjectural picture for dHYM involving Bridgeland stability. In particular, following Arcara-Miles, we show that on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ any line bundle admitting a solution of the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation is Bridgeland stable, but not conversely. Finally, we survey some recent progress on heat f…
We study weak geodesics in the space of potentials for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation. The geodesic equation can be formulated as a degenerate elliptic equation, allowing us to employ nonlinear Dirichlet duality theory, as developed by Harvey-Lawson. By exploiting the convexity of the level sets of the Lagrangian angle operator in the highest branch, we are able to construct continuous solutions of the associated Dirichlet problem.
We introduce a new system of equations coupling Kähler-Einstein and Hermitian-Yang-Mills equations. We provide a moment map interpretation of these equations. We identify a Futaki type invariant as an obstruction to the existence of solutions to these equations. We also prove a Matsushima-Lichnerowicz type theorem. We prove a deformation result that produces nontrivial solutions of these equations under some conditions. We produce examples on some projective bundles using Calabi ansatz.
Consider a vector bundle over a Kähler manifold which admits a Hermitian Yang-Mills connection. We show that the pullback bundle on the blowup of the Kähler manifold at a collection of points also admits a Hermitian Yang-Mills connection, for Kähler classes on the blowup which make the exceptional divisors small. Our proof uses gluing techniques, and is hence asymptotically explict. This recovers, through the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence, algebro-geometric results due to Buchdahl and Sibley.
A recent paper (arxiv.org:1810.00025) studied properties of a compactification of the moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a hermitian bundle over a projective algebraic manifold. In this follow-up note, we show that the Yang-Mills flow at infinity on the space of semistable integrable connections defines a continuous map to the set of ideal connections used to define this compactification. Part of the proof involves a comparison between the topologies of the Grothendieck Quot scheme and the space of smooth connections.
$F$-Yang-Mills connections are critical points of $F$-Yang Mills functional on the space of connections of a principal fiber bundle, which is a generalization of Yang-Mills connections, $p$-Yang-Mills connections and exponential Yang-Mills connections and so on. Here, $F$ is a strictly increasing $C^{2}$-function. In this paper, we extend Simons theorem for an instability of Yang-Mills connections to $F$-Yang-Mills connections. We derive a sufficient condition that any non-flat, $F$-Yang-Mills connection over convex hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space is instable. In the sphere case, this condi…
Given a vector bundle of arbitrary rank with ample determinant line bundle on a projective manifold, we propose a new elliptic system of differential equations of Hermitian-Yang-Mills type for the curvature tensor. The system is designed so that solutions provide Hermitian metrics with positive curvature in the sense of Griffiths-and even in the dual Nakano sense. As a consequence, if an existence result could be obtained for every ample vector bundle, the Griffiths conjecture on the equivalence between ampleness and positivity of vector bundles would be settled.
We provide an introduction to the mathematics and physics of the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation, a fully nonlinear geometric PDE on Kahler manifolds which plays an important role in mirror symmetry. We discuss the physical origin of the equation, and some recent progress towards its solution. In dimension 3 we prove a new Chern number inequality and discuss the relationship with algebraic stability conditions.
We study the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation on the blowup of complex projective space. Using symmetry, we express the equation as an ODE which can be solved using combinatorial methods if an algebraic stability condition is satisfied. This gives evidence towards a conjecture of the first author, T.C. Collins, and S.-T. Yau on general compact Kahler manifolds.
A deformed Donaldson-Thomas (dDT) connection is a Hermitian connection of a Hermitian line bundle over a $G_2$-manifold $X$ satisfying a certain nonlinear PDE. This is considered to be the mirror of a (co)associative cycle in the context of mirror symmetry. The dDT connection is an analogue of a deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills (dHYM) connection which is extensively studied recently. In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of dDT and dHYM connections. In the former half, we prove that the deformation of dDT connections is controlled by a subcomplex of the canonical complex, an elliptic complex …
