Abstract

I carefully study noncommutative version of ADHM construction of instantons, which was proposed by Nekrasov and Schwarz. Noncommutative R4{\bf R}^4 is described as algebra of operators acting in Fock space. In ADHM construction of instantons, one looks for zero-modes of Dirac-like operator. The feature peculiar to noncommutative case is that these zero-modes project out some states in Fock space. The mechanism of these projections is clarified when the gauge group is U(1). I also construct some zero-modes when the gauge group is U(N) and demonstrate that the projections also occur, and the mechanism is similar to the U(1) case. A physical interpretation of the projections in IIB matrix model is briefly discussed.
