TLDR
In this article, the Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory, and the main result is that this is a perfect 9 functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry.Abstract:
The Yang-Mills functional over a Riemann surface is studied from the point of view of Morse theory. The main result is that this is a ‘perfect9 functional provided due account is taken of its gauge symmetry. This enables topological conclusions to be drawn about the critical sets and leads eventually to information about the moduli space of algebraic bundles over the Riemann surface. This in turn depends on the interplay between the holomorphic and unitary structures, which is analysed in detail.read more
