Blowing-up Hermitian Yang--Mills connections

Abstract: We investigate hermitian Yang--Mills connections for pullback vector bundles on blow-ups of K\"ahler manifolds along submanifolds. Under some mild asumptions on the graded object of a simple and semi-stable vector bundle, we provide a necessary and sufficent numerical criterion for the pullback bundle to admit a sequence of hermitian Yang--Mills connections for polarisations that make the exceptional divisor sufficiently small, and show that those connections converge to the pulled back hermitian Yang-Mills connection of the graded object.
