Convergence of anti-self-dual connections on \(SU(n)\)-bundles over product of two Riemann surfaces (Q1290530)

The main object of this article is to investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations on a \(SU(n)\) bundle of two compact Riemann surfaces, establishing a convergence result in the adiabatic limit. The author points out that ``the phenomenon for the Yang-Mills instantons we are encountering here bears a strong analogy with the behaviour of harmonic mappings from Riemannian surfaces with uniformly bounded total energy.'' \dots{}He claims that ``\(C^0\)-convergence is important to study the topology of the moduli spaces.''\dots{} ``As for non-minimizing critical points of the Yang-Mills functional over a product of two compact surfaces''\dots{} ``our method should imply convergence to a harmonic map instead of a holomorphic one.''
