Stability of Ricci Yang-Mills flow at Einstein Yang-Mills metrics (Q614508)

On a principal \(U(1)\)-bundle over a closed manifold, one can define a modified version of the Ricci flow called Ricci Yang-Mills flow, due to these equations being a coupling of Ricci flow and Yang-Mills heat flow. This paper is devoted to the stability of the volume-normalized Ricci Yang-Mills flow at Einstein Yang-Mills metrics in dimension two. In certain cases, the presence of a center manifold of fixed points is obtained, whereas in others, the existence of an asymptotically stable fixed point is derived.
