It intends to guide graduate students into the analysis of Yang-Mills theory as well as to serve as a reference for researchers in the field. The book is largely self-contained. It contains a number of appendices (e.g. on Sobolev spaces of maps between manifolds) and an introductory part covering the Lp-regularity theory for the inhomogenous Neumann problem. The two main parts contain the full proofs of Uhlenbeck's weak and strong compactness theorems on closed manifolds as well as their generalizations to manifolds with boundary and noncompact manifolds. These parts include a number of useful analytic tools such as general patching constructions and local slice theorems. 606 $aFunctional analysis$2bicssc 606 $aGlobal analysis, analysis on manifolds$2msc 606 $aPartial differential equations$2msc 606 $aFunctional analysis$2msc 606 $aQuantum theory$2msc 615 07$aFunctional analysis 615 07$aGlobal analysis, analysis on manifolds 615 07$aPartial differential equations 615 07$aFunctional analysis 615 07$aQuantum theory 686 $a58-xx$a35-xx$a46-xx$a81-xx$2msc 700 $aWehrheim$b Katrin$0482208 801 0$bch0018173 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151939003321 996 $aUhlenbeck compactness$9277428 997 $aUNINA
