Stable solutions to the abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs equations on S^2 and T^2

Abstract: We show under natural assumptions that stable solutions to the abelian Yang--Mills--Higgs equations on Hermitian line bundles over the round 2-sphere actually satisfy the vortex equations, which are a first-order reduction of the (second-order) abelian Yang--Mills--Higgs equations. We also obtain a similar result for stable solutions on a flat 2-torus. Our method of proof comes from the work of Bourguignon--Lawson concerning stable SU(2) Yang--Mills connections on compact homogeneous 4-manifolds.
