Singularity formation in the Yang-Mills flow (Q1879316): Difference between revisions

Using Hamilton's monotonicity formula for the Yang-Mills flow considered in \textit{R. S. Hamilton} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 1, No. 1, 127--137 (1993; Zbl 0779.58037)], the author proves that a sequence of blow-ups of a rapidly forming singularity will converge, modulo the gauge group, to a non-trivial homothetically shrinking soliton, The last section contains explicit examples of such solitons in the case of trivial bundles over \(\mathbb R^n\) for \(5\leq n\leq9\).
