Stable Yang-Mills connections on special holonomy manifolds

We prove that energy minimizing Yang-Mills connections on a compact G2-manifold has holonomy equal to G2 are G2-instantons, subject to an extra condition on the curvature. Furthermore, we show that energy minimizing connections on a compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold that has holonomy equal to SU(3) subject to a similar condition are holomorphic.
