Analytic cycles, Bott-Chern forms, and singular sets for the Yang-Mills flow on Kähler manifolds (Q2344277)

The paper aims to exactly determine of the bubbling locus for the limit of unstable integrable connections on a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Kḧler manifold (\(X,\omega\)) along the Yang-Mills flow. Roughly speaking, it is shown that the set of points where curvature concentration occurs coincides with a subvariety canonically determined by a certain filtration of the initial holomorphic bundle by saturated subsheaves. More specific, the main result states that the singular set for the Yang-Mills flow on unstable holomorphic vector bundles over compact Kähler manifolds is completely determined by the Harder-Narasimhan-Seshadri filtration of the initial holomorphic bundle. A multiplicity is assigned to irreducible top dimensional components of the singular set of a holomorphic bundle with a filtration by saturated subsheaves. Further, a singular Bott-Chern formula relating the second Chern form of a smooth metric on the bundle to the Chern current of an admissible metric on the associated graded sheaf, is derived. This formula is used to show that the multiplicities of the top dimensional bubbling locus defined via the Yang-Mills density agree with the corresponding multiplicities for the Harder-Narasimhan-Seshadri filtration. In particular, this also leads to the set theoretic equality of singular sets.
