Regularity of the Donaldson Geometric Flow

icon-email Robin S. Krom

Abstract

We prove a regularity theorem for the solutions of the Donaldson geometric flow equation on the space of symplectic forms on a closed smooth four-manifold, representing a fixed cohomology class. The minimal initial conditions lay in the Besov space $B^{1,p}_{2}(M, {\varLambda }^{2}) $ for $p>4.$ The Donaldson geometric flow was introduced by Simon Donaldson in Donaldson (Asian J. Math. 3, 1–16 1999). For a detailed exposition see Krom and Salamon (J. Symplectic Geom. 17, 381–417 2019).
