We extend the method of matrix partition to obtain explicitly the gauge field for noncommutative ADHM construction in some general cases. As an application of this method we apply it to the U(2) 2-instanton and get explicit result for the…
We search for an abelian description of the Yang-Mills instantons on certain eight dimensional manifolds with the special holonomies $Spin(7)$ and SU(4). By mimicing the Seiberg-Witten theory in four dimensions, we propose a set of…
We study the ADHM construction of instantons in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory deformed in constant Ramond-Ramond (R-R) 3-form field strength background in type IIB superstrings. We compare the deformed instanton effective action with…
We relate the moduli space of Yang-Mills instantons to quaternionic manifolds. For instanton number one, the Wolf spaces play an important role. We apply these ideas to instanton calculations in N=4 SYM theory.
We consider Yang-Mills theory on manifolds ${\mathbb R}\times X$ with a $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $X$ of special holonomy admitting gauge instanton equations. Instantons are considered as particle-like solutions in $d+1$…
The moduli space of self-dual $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills instantons on $\mathbb T^4$ of topological charge $Q = r/N$, $1 \leq r \leq N-1$, is of current interest, yet is not fully understood. In this paper, starting from 't Hooft's constant field…
We consider geodesics of infinite length and constant 4d dilaton in the (classical) hypermultiplet moduli space of type II Calabi-Yau compactifications. When approaching such infinite distance points, a large amount of D-instantons develop…
Solitonic objects play a central role in gauge and string theory (as, e.g., monopoles, black holes, D-branes, etc.). Certain string backgrounds produce a noncommutative deformation of the low-energy effective field theory, which allows for…
We consider the low-energy dynamics of a pair of distinct fundamental monopoles that arise in the $N=4$ supersymmetric $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory broken to $U(1)\times U(1)$. Both the long distance interactions and the short distance…
We construct U(2) noncommutative multi-instanton solutions by extending Witten's ansatz [1] which reduces the problem of cylindrical symmetry in four dimensions to that of a set of Bogomol'nyi equations for an Abelian Higgsmodel in two…
We construct (anti)instanton solutions of a would-be q-deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on the quantum Euclidean space R_q^4 [the SO_q(4)-covariant noncommutative space] by reinterpreting the function algebra on the latter as a q-quaternion…
We provide the last missing piece of the complete non-perturbative description of the low energy effective action emerging from Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II string theory --- NS5-brane instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet…
We have calculated the topological charge of U(N) instantons on non-degenerate noncommutative space time to be exactly the instanton number k in a previous paper [Mod.Phys.Lett. A18 1691]. This paper, which deals with the degenerate…
We provide a description of the moduli space of framed autodual instanton bundles on projective space, focusing on the particular cases of symplectic and orthogonal instantons. Our description will use the generalized ADHM equations which…
We study in detail the ADHM construction of U(N) instantons on noncommutative Euclidean space-time R_{NC}^4 and noncommutative space R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We point out that the completeness condition in the ADHM construction could be invalidated…
We investigate the large Nc limit of pure N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory with gauge group SU(Nc) by using the exact low energy effective action. Typical one-complex dimensional sections of the moduli space parametrized by a global complex…
The static Yang-Mills-Higgs dyonic instanton is shown to have a non-vanishing, but anti-self-dual, angular momentum 2-form with skew eigenvalues equal to the electric charge; for large charge the angular momentum causes the instanton to…
We calculate instanton corrections to three dimensional gauge theories with N=4 and N=8 supersymmetry and SU(n) gauge groups. The N=4 results give new information about the moduli space of n BPS SU(2) monopoles, including the leading order…
We study one- and two-soliton solutions of noncommutative Chern-Simons theory coupled to a nonrelativistic or a relativistic scalar field. In the nonrelativistic case, we find a tower of new stationary time-dependent solutions, all with the…
We report results obtained for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on a four dimensional torus with two directions much smaller than the other two. The small 2-torus is equipped with twisted boundary conditions. This construction provides a way to…
