By Katrin Wehrheim

This e-book offers a close account of the analytic foundations of gauge concept, specifically, Uhlenbeck's compactness theorems for basic connections and for Yang-Mills connections. It publications graduate scholars into the research of Yang-Mills conception in addition to serves as a reference for researchers within the box. the amount is basically self contained. It features a variety of appendices (e.g., on Sobolev areas of maps among manifolds) and an introductory half overlaying the $L^p$-regularity concept for the inhomogenous Neumann challenge. the 2 major elements comprise the whole proofs of Uhlenbeck's susceptible and robust compactness theorems on closed manifolds in addition to their generalizations to manifolds with boundary and noncompact manifolds. those components contain a couple of important analytic instruments corresponding to basic patching structures and native slice theorems. The booklet is appropriate for graduate scholars and study mathematicians attracted to differential geometry, worldwide research, and research on manifolds. disbursed in the Americas through the yankee Mathematical Society.

E. there exists F ∈ L2 (V ) 26 The Neumann Problem with F 2 ≤ C( f V W 1,2 ) such that for all ψ ∈ L2 (V ) 2 + u 1 t ∂1 v(x + te) − ∂1 v(x) ψ(x) dn x −→ t→0 F ψ. V Thus ∂1 ∂1 v = F weakly exists, lies in L2 (V ), and satisfies the estimate ∂ 1 ∂1 v 2 ≤C f 2 + u W 1,2 . This finishes the proof in the case k = 0. Now we assume the theorem to hold for some k ≥ 0, then the induction step is to first establish the claim for k + 1 and then deduce the theorem for k + 1. 2) and let X be as assumed in the claim.

Here one can use the local formula of ∆u to express the second normal derivative of u by ∆u and other derivatives of u for which the estimate was already established. Thus one obtains the estimate for k = + 1, u W +3,p ≤C ∆u W +1,p + u W +2,p . 2 : The necessity of the condition M f = 0 for the existence of a solution of the Neumann problem follows as in the case p = 2: If u ∈ W k+2,p (M ) solves (NP) then by lemma N it also solves (wNP), which (tested with ψ ≡ 1) yields M f = 0. In order to prove the sufficiency of that condition let f ∈ W k,p (M ) be given such that M f = 0.

Now we use the fact that the bundle is Riemannian, hence the values of the inner products below are independent of the choice of the trivialization. Hence we N can use N α=1 ψα = 1 and α=1 dψα = 0 to obtain N M τ ∧ ∗∇u = α=1 Uα ψα τα ∧ ∗(∇u)α N = Uα α=1 ψα (∇∗ τ )α , uα − Uα dψα ∧ uα ∗ τα + ∂M ∩∂Uα = M ∇∗ τ , u + ψα u α ∗ τ α u , τ (ν) . 6 (i). ✷ This chapter deals with the following generalized Neumann boundary value problem for sections u of E : ∇∗ ∇u = f ∇ν u = g on M, on ∂M. 1) Denote by Cν∞ (M, E) the space of smooth sections ψ ∈ Γ(E) with ∇ν ψ = 0 on ∂M .
