The basic objects of the ADHM construction are reformulated in terms of elements of the $A_{\theta}(R^4)$ algebra of the noncommutative $R_{\theta}^4$ space. This new formulation of the ADHM construction makes possible the explicit calculus…
We prove an energy identity for anti-self-dual connections on the product C\times\Sigma of the complex plane and a Riemann surface. The energy is a multiple of a basic constant that is determined from the values of a corresponding…
Yang-Mills instantons are solitonic particles in d=4+1 dimensional gauge theories. We construct and analyse the quantum Hall states that arise when these particles are restricted to the lowest Landau level. We describe the ground state…
We construct and classify $SU(3)$-invariant primitive Hermitian Yang-Mills connections and $Sp(2)$-instantons with gauge groups $S = S^1$ and $S = SO(3)$ over the Calabi manifold $X = T^*CP^2$, the unique non-flat, complete,…
We review several aspects of Yang-Mills theory (YMT) in two dimensions, related to its perturbative and topological properties. Consistency between light-front and equal-time formulations is thoroughly discussed.
The role of topology in the perturbative solution of the Euclidean Einstein equations about flat instantons is examined.
We have been able to observe directly extended instantons on the lattice, with a new method that does not require dislocations to measure them, and where we do not perform cooling. We showed, based on the simple Abelian Higgs model in $1+1$…
We study the interaction between toric Ricci-flat metrics in dimension 4 and axisymmetric harmonic maps from the 3-dimensional Euclidean space into the hyperbolic plane. Applications include (1). The construction of complete Ricci-flat…
New static regular axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Euclidean Yang-Mills theory are constructed numerically. They represent calorons having trivial Polyakov loop at spacial infinity. The solutions are labeled by two integers $m,n$. It…
We study U(1) and U(2) noncommutative instantons on R^2_{NC} x R^2_C based on the ADHM construction. It is shown that a mild singularity in the instanton solutions for both self-dual and anti-self-dual gauge fields always disappears in…
A self-dual, localized solution to the classical SU(2) Yang-Mills equation in Euclidean spacetime, which formally possesses infinite action, is investigated in view of its U(1) charge content after Abelian projection. This is suggested by…
We present some classical properties for non-abelian Yang-Mills theories that we extract directly from the Maxwell's equations of the theory. We write the equations of motion for the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory using the language of Maxwell's…
Motivated by newly discovered properties of instantons on non-compact spaces, we realised that certain analytic invariants of vector bundles detect fine geometric properties. We present numerical algorithms, implemented in Macaulay 2, to…
This article provides an explicit construction for a family of singular instantons on S^4 S^2 with arbitrary real holonomy parameter \alpha. This family includes the original \alpha = 1/4, c_2 = 3/2 solution discovered by P. Forgacs, Z.…
The instanton contributions to the partition function and to homologically trivial Wilson loops for a U(N) Yang-Mills theory on a torus $T^2$ are analyzed. An exact expression for the partition function is obtained as a sum of contributions…
We compute the instanton partition function for ${\cal N}=4$ U(N) gauge theories living on toric varieties, mainly of type $\R^4/\Gamma_{p,q}$ including $A_{p-1}$ or $O_{\PP_1}(-p)$ surfaces. The results provide microscopic formulas for the…
Unitary anti-self-dual connections on Asymptotically Locally Flat (ALF) hyperk\"ahler spaces are constructed in terms of data organized in a bow. Bows generalize quivers, and the relevant bow gives rise to the underlying ALF space as the…
An analysis is performed of instanton configurations in pure Euclidean Yang-Mills theory containing small Lorentz-violating perturbations that maintain gauge invariance. Conventional topological arguments are used to show that the general…
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…
We construct the exact solution of one (anti)instanton in N=1/2 super Yang-Mills theory defined on non(anti)commutative superspace. We first identify N = 1/2 superconformal invariance as maximal spacetime symmetry. For gauge group U(2),…
