Catalin Gherghe: Minimizers of a generalized Yang-Mills functional, p.307-309

Abstract:

We prove that any absolute minimum of the Yang-Mills functional in a certain space of connections is also a minimizer of the generalized gauge invariant functional defined in [2].

Key Words: Curvature, vector bundle, Yang-Mills connections, convex functions.
