We study the new ``gauge'' theories in 5+1 dimensions, and their non-commutative generalizations. We argue that the $\theta$-term and the non-commutative torus parameters appear on an equal footing in the non-critical string theories which…

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a…
Non-singular instantons are shown to exist on noncommutative R^4 even with a U(1) gauge group. Their existence is primarily due to the noncommutativity of the space. The relation between U(1) instantons on noncommutative R^4 and the…
In the case of an invertible coordinate commutator matrix $\theta_{ij}$, we derive a general instanton solution of the noncommutative gauge theories on $d=2n$ planes given in terms of $n$ oscillators.
We discuss instantons on noncommutative four-dimensional Euclidean space. In commutative case one can consider instantons directly on Euclidean space, then we should restrict ourselves to the gauge fields that are gauge equivalent to the…
