Abstract: We investigate monotonicity properties of -harmonic vector bundle-valued -forms by studying the energy-momentum tensor associated with such a form. As a consequence, we obtain a unified proof of the monotonicity formul{ae} for -harmonic maps and Yang-Mills connections, proving a monotonicity formula for -Yang-Mills connections in the process. Moreover, it is shown how this technique may be adapted to yield an analogous monotonicity formula for Yang-Mills-Higgs pairs. Finally, we obtain Liouville-type theorems for such forms and Yang-Mills-Higgs pairs as an application.
