Continuity of the Yang-Mills flow on the set of semistable bundles

A recent paper (arxiv.org:1810.00025) studied properties of a compactification of the moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a hermitian bundle over a projective algebraic manifold. In this follow-up note, we show that the Yang-Mills flow at infinity on the space of semistable integrable connections defines a continuous map to the set of ideal connections used to define this compactification. Part of the proof involves a comparison between the topologies of the Grothendieck Quot scheme and the space of smooth connections.
