Complementary ADHM Instanton Sigma Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-08-04 v3

Abstract

We construct the ADHM linear sigma model that is complementary to a model constructed by Edward Witten in 1995. Analysis of the corresponding moduli space leads to the resolution of a nearly three decade old mystery associated with the original construction. A number of problems are listed on which this construction has a bearing.
