Limiting Measures and Energy Growth for Sequences of Solutions to Taubes’s Seiberg–Witten Equations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We consider sequences of solutions $$(\psi _n,A_n)_{n=1}^\infty $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>ψ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math> to Taubes’s modified Seiberg–Witten equations, associated with a fixed volume-preserving vector field X on a 3-manifold and corresponding to arbitrarily large values of the strength parameter $$r_n\rightarrow \infty $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . In Taubes’s work, the asymptotic behavior of these solutions is related to the dynamics of X . We consider the rather unexplored case of sequences of solutions whose energy is not uniformly bounded as $$n\rightarrow \infty $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . Our first main result shows that when the energy grows more slowly than $$r_n^{1/2}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math> , the limiting nodal set of the solutions converges to an invariant set of the vector field X . The main tool we use is a novel maximum principle for the solutions with the key property that it remains valid in the unbounded energy case. As a byproduct, in the usual case of sequences of solutions with bounded energy, we obtain a new, more straightforward proof of Taubes’s result on the existence of periodic orbits that does not involve a local analysis or the vortex equations. Our second main result proves that, contrary to what happens in the bounded energy case, when the energy is unbounded there are no local restrictions to the limiting measures that may arise in the modified Seiberg–Witten equations. Furthermore, we obtain a connection between the dimension of the support of the limiting measure (as expressed through a d -Frostman property) and the energy growth of the sequence of local solutions we construct.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
