Heat flow for Yang Mills Higgs fields

Yi Fang and Min-Chun Hong

Abstract The heat flow for the Yang-Mills-Higgs field generalizes the Yang-Mills flow. We establish the existence and uniqueness of global weak solution to the heat flow for the Yang-Mills-Higgs field in a vector bundle over a compact Riemannian 4-manifold. We show that the weak solution is gauge-equivalent to a smooth solution away from a finite set of singularities and discuss the solution's behavior around such singularities.
