Quantitative stratification of stationary Yang-Mills and recent progress on global gauge problem

Abstract:

Given a stationary Yang-Mills connection A, we are interested in studying its singular structure. In this talk we introduce a quantitative way to stratify the singular sets. Our main results include a Minkowski Volume estimate and the rectifiability of this quantitative stratification, which leads to the rectifiability of the classical stratifications S^k(A) for all integer k. To be precise, we first recall certain background preliminaries needed for this talk. After giving the statements of the main results, I will briefly describe the machinary used in the proof, and explain the new points and the major difficulty that we have faced. The main results in the talk are based on a work by myself last year. If time allows I will further discuss some open problems regarding global gauge in this field, and recent progress in those directions made jointly with Aaron Naber. [video]
