Abstract:We show that the Yang-Mills potential and Higgs field are uniquely determined (up to the natural gauge) from source-to-solution type data associated with the classical Yang-Mills-Higgs equations in the Minkowski space. We impose natural non-degeneracy conditions on the representation for the Higgs field and on the Lie algebra of the structure group which are satisfied for the case of ...
Abstract: The equations of flux compactification of Type IIA superstrings were written down by Tomasiello and Tseng-Yau. To study these equations, we introduce a natural geometric flow known as the Type IIA flow on symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds. We prove the wellposedness of this flow and establish the basic estimates. We show that the Type IIA flow can be applied to find optimal almost com...
