We construct a four-parameter class of self-dual instanton solutions of the classical SU(2)-Yang-Mills equations in a closed Euclidean Robertson-Walker space-time.

By using the recursion relations found in the framework of N=2 Super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2), we reconstruct the structure of the instanton moduli space and its volume form for all winding numbers. The construction is…

Just recently, the class of all Einstein-Maxwell fields solving simultaneously also any higher-order modification of the Eintein-Maxwell theory has been completely identified. In the present work, we argue that, in view of our recent…

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…

We study N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a Kaehler manifold with $b_2^+ \geq 3$. Adding suitable perturbations we show that the partition function of the N=4 theory is the sum of contributions from two branches: (i) instantons, (ii)…

We prove a sharp convergence theorem for the Yang-Mills flow on an $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{U}(r)$-bundle over a locally hyperK\"ahler ALE 4-manifold. Our main result is a noncompact version of the "parabolic gap theorem" previously established…

We consider the Einstein/Yang-Mills equations in $3+1$ space time dimensions with $\SU(2)$ gauge group and prove rigorously the existence of a globally defined smooth static solution. We show that the associated Einstein metric is…

Self-consistent Ansaetze are presented for the left- and right-handed isodoublet fermion zero-modes of the constrained instanton Istar in the vacuum sector of euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. These left- and right-handed fermion…

We present an asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric, static, globally regular and horizonless solution of SU$(2)$-gauged $\mathcal{N}=1,d=5$ supergravity. The SU$(2)$ gauge field is that of the BPST instanton. We argue that this…

For arbitrary gauge groups, we check at the one-instanton level that the Nekrasov partition function of pure N=2 super Yang-Mills is equal to the norm of a certain coherent state of the corresponding W-algebra. For non-simply-laced gauge…

In this letter we argue that instanton-dominated Green's functions in N=2 Super Yang-Mills theories can be equivalently computed either using the so-called constrained instanton method or making reference to the topological twisted version…

In terms of spin-charge separated variables, the Minkowski space Yang-Mills BPST instanton describes a locally conformally flat doubly-wrapped cigar manifold that can be viewed as a Euclidean quantum black hole. An ensemble of instantons…

We study Type IIB supergravity in the presence of (euclidean) D3 branes and nonzero self-dual B-fields. We point out that the Einstein frame metric is identical to the full geometry for D3 branes without B fields turned on. Furthermore, in…

We have recently introduced the notion of a q-quaternion bialgebra and shown its strict link with the SO_q(4)-covariant quantum Euclidean space R_q^4. Adopting the available differential geometric tools on the latter and the quaternion…

We consider a pure U(1) quantum gauge field theory on a general Riemannian compact four manifold. We compute the partition function with Abelian Wilson loop insertions. We find its duality covariance properties and derive topological…

Building on our previous work [2109.01110], we will compute a new kind of $G_2$ instanton partition function. By doing so, we complete a set of building blocks of the instanton partition function associated with a large class of $G_2$…
