| Dec 11, 2014 at 9:09 | comment | added | Jjm | @DeaneYang Thank you very much for the information. Could you tell me about some source where this 'truly revolutionary seminal work' is explained (at least roughly). And the same would be helpful about the point where this phenomenon is crucial to Donaldson's thesis. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 4:13 | comment | added | Deane Yang | I have to say that what is described in this note is the least of what Uhlenbeck did in her seminal work. The note describes how to use the Coulomb gauge to get compactness of self-dual connections with a uniform $L^p$ bound on the curvature, where $p > n/2$. What was truly revolutionary was her analysis of what happens when $p = n/2$, where she showed that there was a "bubbling" effect that can occur due to the scale invariance of the $L^{n/2}$ norm of curvature. The phenomenon is crucial to Donaldson's thesis. | |
