Frobenius manifold structures on the spaces of abelian integrals were constructed by I. Krichever. We use D-modules, deformation theory, and homological algebra to give a coordinate-free description of these structures. It turns out that…
In the presence of a background supergravity flux, N M2-branes will expand via the Myers effect into M5-branes wrapped on a fuzzy three-sphere. In previous work the fluctuations of the M2-branes were shown to be described by the…
We extend the analytic theory of Frobenius manifolds to semisimple points with coalescing eigenvalues of the operator of multiplication by the Euler vector field. We clarify which freedoms, ambiguities and mutual constraints are allowed in…
An $F$-manifold is complex manifold with a multiplication on the holomorphic tangent bundle with a certain integrability condition. Important examples are Frobenius manifolds and especially base spaces of universal unfoldings of isolated…
We construct an octonionic instanton solution to the seven dimensional Yang-Mills theory based on the exceptional gauge group $G_2$ which is the automorphism group of the division algebra of octonions. This octonionic instanton has an…
In this article we present some probably unexpected (in our opinion) properties of representations of Yang-Mills algebras. We first show that any free Lie algebra with m generators is a quotient of the Yang-Mills algebra ym(n) on n…
We show that one can express Frobenius transformation on middle-dimensional p-adic cohomology of Calabi-Yau threefold in terms of mirror map and instanton numbers. We express the mirror map in terms of Frobenius transformation on p-adic…
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 present a method to compute the integrands of one-loop Einstein-Yang-Mills amplitudes for any number of external gauge and gravity multiplets. Our construction relies on the double-copy structure of Einstein-Yang-Mills as…
In this paper we discuss some non-trivial relations for ordered exponentials on smooth Riemannian manifolds. As an example of application, we study a dependence of the four-dimensional quantum Yang-Mills effective action on the background…
Several results on existence and convergence of the Yang-Mills flow in dimension four are given. We show that a singularity modeled on an instanton cannot form within finite time. Given low initial self-dual energy, we then study…
Yang-Mills instantons on ALE gravitational instantons were constructed by Kronheimer and Nakajima in terms of matrices satisfying algebraic equations. These were conveniently organized into a quiver. We construct generic Yang-Mills…
In this paper we revisit the arguments that have led to the proposal of a multi-instanton measure for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. We then recall how the moduli space of gauge connections on $\real^4$ can be built from a…
In abstract Yang-Mills theory the standard instanton construction relies on the Hodge star having real eigenvalues which makes it inapplicable in the Lorentzian case. We show that for the affine connection an instanton-type construction can…
We introduce and study a superversion of Dubrovin's notion of semisimple Frobenius manifolds. We establish a correspondence between semisimple Frobenius (super)manifolds and special solutions to the (supersymmetric) Schlesinger equations.…
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 $n$-instanton contribution to the Seiberg-Witten prepotential of ${\bf N}=2$ supersymmetric $d=4$ Yang Mills theory is represented as the integral of the exponential of an equivariantly exact form. Integrating out an overall scale and a…
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.
We consider self-dual Yang-Mills instantons in 4-dimensional Kaehler spaces with one holomorphic isometry and show that they satisfy a generalization of the Bogomol'nyi equation for magnetic monopoles on certain 3-dimensional metrics. We…
We introduce a structure of an infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifold on a subspace in the space of pairs of functions analytic inside/outside the unit circle with simple poles at 0/infinity respectively. The dispersionless 2D Toda…
