Symplectic geometry and deformation of infinite dimensional cycles associated to Cauchy-Riemann operators (Q1903368)

The present paper exhibits one of the applications of a general theory of infinite dimensional cycles associated to families of operators [see the author, Nagoya Math. J. 127, 1-14 (1992; Zbl 0784.46053)] to a variational problem, i.e., the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory over Riemann surfaces. The aim of this paper is to find invariant infinite dimensional cycles via the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills action over Riemann surfaces, other than stable (or unstable) manifolds, as an application of the above general theory.
