We explicitly construct SL(2,C) Yang-Mills (weakly) three and four instanton sheaves on CP^3. These results extend the previous construction of Yang-Mills (weakly) instanton sheaves with topological charge two [18].

The SL(2,C) Yang-Mills instanton solutions constructed recently by the biquaternion method were shown to satisfy the complex version of the ADHM equations and the Monad construction. Moreover, we discover that, in addition to the…

In the search of YM instanton sheaves with topological charge two, the rank of beta matrix in the monad construction can be dropped from the bundle case with rank(beta)= 2 to either rank(beta) = 1 [4] or 0 on some points of CP^3 of the…

We consider the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory, whose topological sectors are restricted to the instanton number with integer multiples of $p$. We can formulate such a quantum field theory maintaining locality and unitarity, and the model…

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 N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with gauge group SU(2) compactified to three dimensions on a circle of circumference beta. The eight fermion terms in the effective action on the Coulomb branch are determined exactly, for…

We study the quantum effects on the Coulomb branch of N=2 SU(2) supersymmetric Yang-Mills with fundamental matters compactified on R^3 x S^1, and extract the explicit perturbative and leading non-perturbative corrections to the moduli space…

We use biquaternion to construct SL(2,C) ADHM Yang-Mills instantons. The solutions contain 16k-6 moduli parameters for the kth homotopy class, and include as a subset the SL(2,C) (M,N) instanton solutions constructed previously. In…

In these lectures, which are written at an elementary and pedagogical level, we discuss general aspects of (single) instantons in SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theory, and then specialize to the case of N = 4 supersymmetry and the large N_c limit. We…

The total space of the spinor bundle on the four dimensional sphere S^4 is a quaternionic line bundle that admits a metric of Spin(7) holonomy. We consider octonionic Yang-Mills instanton on this eight dimensional gravitational instanton.…

We consider a dimensional reduction of the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills condition on $S^1$-invariant K\"ahler Einstein $6$-manifolds. This allows us to reformulate the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills equations in terms of data on the…

In this article we study the moduli space of conically singular instantons (or Hermitian Yang--Mills connections) with prescribed tangent connections over a 6-manifold equipped with an $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure. That is, we develop a…

We present several different classes of selfdual Yang-Mills instantons in all even d backgrounds with Euclidean signature. In d=4p+2 the only solutions we found are on constant curvature dS and AdS backgrounds, and are evaluated in closed…

Anti-self-dual (ASD) solutions to the Yang-Mills equation (or instantons) over an anti-self-dual four manifold, which are invariant under an appropriate action of a three dimensional Lie group, give rise, via twistor construction, to…

When eight-dimensional instantons, satisfying F \wedge F = \pm \star_8 (F\wedge F), shrink to zero size, we find stringy objects in higher order ten-dimensional Yang-Mills (viewed as a low-energy limit of open string theory). The associated…

The decoupling strategy allows one to obtain the value of the strong coupling in QCD from the running in pure gauge. Here we present our strategy to determine the running in the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory. We use a finite-volume scheme with…

This is a self-contained set of lecture notes on instantons in (super) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and in quantum mechanics. First the basics are derived from scratch: the regular and singular one-instanton solutions for Yang-Mills…

N=(1,0) supergravity in six dimensions admits AdS_3\times S^3 as a vacuum solution. We extend our recent results presented in hep-th/0212323, by obtaining the complete N=4 Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons supergravity in D=3, up to quartic fermion…

Correlation functions of chiral primary operators and their superconformal descendants in the N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory are studied in detail in a one-instanton background and at large N. Whereas earlier calculations were…

Using spinorial geometry techniques, we classify the supersymmetric solutions of euclidean ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. These backgrounds represent generalizations of instantons with nontrivial scalar fields turned on, and satisfy…
