In this paper, the metric on the moduli space of the k=1 SU(n) periodic instanton -or caloron- with arbitrary gauge holonomy at spatial infinity is explicitly constructed. The metric is toric hyperKaehler and of the form conjectured by Lee…
The instanton equations on vector bundles over Calabi-Yau and hyper-K\"ahler cones can be reduced to matrix equations resembling Nahm's equations. We complement the discussion of Hermitian Yang-Mills (HYM) equations on Calabi-Yau cones,…
We determine all SU(2) caloron solutions with topological charge one and arbitrary Polyakov loop at spatial infinity (with trace 2.cos(2.pi.omega)), using the Nahm duality transformation and ADHM. By explicit computations we show that the…
We present the detailed derivation of the charge one periodic instantons - or calorons - with non-trivial holonomy for SU(2). We use a suitable combination of the Nahm transformation and ADHM techniques. Our results rely on our ability to…
This paper establishes that the Nahm transform sending spatially periodic instantons (instantons on the product of the real line and a three-torus) to singular monopoles on the dual three-torus is indeed a bijection as suggested by the…
We derive a one-parameter family of gauged Skyrme models from Yang-Mills theory on $S^1\times\mathbb{R}^3$, in which skyrmions are well-approximated by calorons and monopoles. In particular we study the spherically symmetric solutions to…
We review the specific problems that arise when studying instantons on a torus. We discuss how the Nahm transformation shows that no exact charge one instanton on T**4 can exist. However, taking one of the directions (the time) to infinity,…
In this paper, we establish a generalization of Sturm--Picone comparison theorem for a pair of fractional nonlocal equations: \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{gathered} (-div. (A_1(x)\nabla))^{s} u = C_{1}(x) u \,\,\,\mbox{in}\,\,\Omega, u = 0…
The progress on calorons (finite temperature instantons) is sketched. In particular there is some interest for confining temperatures, where the holonomy is non-trivial.
Instantons on various spaces can be constructed via a generalization of the Fourier transform called the ADHM-Nahm transform. An explicit use of this construction, however, involves rather tedious calculations. Here we derive a simple…
We show that Nachman's integral equations for the Calder\'on problem, derived for conductivities in $W^{2,p}(\Omega)$, still hold for $L^\infty$ conductivities which are $1$ in a neighborhood of the boundary. We also prove convergence of…
We construct all instantons in the \nlsig\ on a cylindrical space-time, known not to exist on a finite time interval. The scale parameter, $\rho$, is related to the boundary condition in time. This may cure the $\rho\rightarrow0$ divergent…
We find an instanton (caloron) solution in the finite-temperature SU(2) gluon gas subjected to (imaginary, in Euclidean spacetime) rotation. We demonstrate that the rotation decreases the temperature of the caloron and leads to the…
An instanton $(E, D)$ on a (pseudo-)hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$ is a vector bundle $E$ associated to a principal $G$-bundle with a connection $D$ whose curvature is pointwise invariant under the quaternionic structures of $T_x M, \ x\in M$,…
We construct all instantons for the \nlsig\ on a cylinder, known not to exist on a finite time interval. We show that the widest instantons go through sphalerons. A re-interpretation of moduli-space transforms the scale parameter $\rho$ to…
Recent work of Harland shows that the $SO(3)$-symmetric, dimensionally-reduced, charge-$N$ self-dual Yang--Mills calorons on the hyperbolic space $ H^3\times S^1$ may be obtained through constructing $N$-vortex solutions of an Abelian Higgs…
We construct finite energy instanton connection on $R^4$ which are periodic in two directions via an analogue of the Nahm transform for certain singular solutions of Hitchin's equations defined over a 2-torus.
Using the Nahm transform we investigate doubly periodic charge one SU(2) instantons with radial symmetry. Two special points where the Nahm zero modes have softer singularities are identified as the locations of instanton core constituents.…
The explicit multi-instanton solutions by 'tHooft and Jackiw, Nohl & Rebbi are generalized to curvilinear coordinates. The idea is that a gauge transformation can notably simplify the expressions obtained after the change of variables. The…
Instantons on the Taub-NUT space are related to `bow solutions' via a generalization of the ADHM-Nahm transform. Both are related to complex geometry, either via the twistor transform or via the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence. We explore…
