Using the bicomplex approach we discuss a noncommutative system in two--dimensional Euclidean space. It is described by an equation of motion which reduces to the ordinary sine--Gordon equation when the noncommutation parameter is removed,…
I review in this talk different approaches to the construction of vortex and instanton solutions in noncommutative field theories.
We study fermionic instantons of the Gross-Neveu and the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models. We derive solutions for both models and examine the corresponding actions at the fixed points. We further map the solutions on to the sphere and discuss the…
The study of noncommutative solitons is greatly facilitated if the field equations are integrable, i.e. result from a linear system. For the example of a modified but integrable U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions we employ the dressing…
From the perspective of topological field theory we explore the physics beyond instantons. We propose the fluctons as nonperturbative topological fluctuations of vacuum, from which the self-dual domain of instantons is attained as a…
We derive a BPS-type bound for four-dimensional Born-Infeld action with constant B field background. The supersymmetric configuration saturates this bound and is regarded as an analog of instanton in U(1) gauge theory. Furthermore, we find…
We generalize the spectral-curve construction of moduli spaces of instantons on $\MT{4}$ and $K_3$ to noncommutative geometry. We argue that the spectral-curves should be constructed inside a twisted $\MT{4}$ or $K_3$ that is an elliptic…
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…
The present paper is the second part of our project in which we describe quantum field theories with instantons in a novel way by using the "infinite radius limit" (rather than the limit of free field theory) as the starting point. The…
We study various aspects of four dimensional Einstein-Maxwell multicentred gravitational instantons. These are half-BPS Riemannian backgrounds of minimal N=2 supergravity, asymptotic to R^4, R^3 x S^1 or AdS_2 x S^2. Unlike for the…
For a quantum field living on a non - static spacetime no instantaneous Hamiltonian is definable, for this generically necessitates a choice of inequivalent representation of the canonical commutation relations at each instant of time. This…
These are lecture notes for an introductory course on noncommutative field and gauge theory. We begin by reviewing quantum mechanics as the prototypical noncommutative theory, as well as the geometrical language of standard gauge theory.…
This paper develops a local analogue of the ADHM construction, which characterises ASD instantons defined over smooth bounded domains inside Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^4$ diffeomorphic to the 4-ball, in terms of infinite dimensional Hilbert…
We describe the statistical mechanics of a melting crystal in three dimensions and its relation to a diverse range of models arising in combinatorics, algebraic geometry, integrable systems, low-dimensional gauge theories, topological…
In previous work, the second author defined 'equivariant instanton homology groups' $I^\bullet(Y,\pi;R)$ for a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$, a set of auxiliary data $\pi$, and a PID $R$. These objects are modules over the cohomology ring…
In this paper, we study Einstein gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field accompanied with a potential, assuming an O(4) symmetric metric ansatz. We call an Euclidean instanton is to be an oscillating instanton, if there exists a point…
The exact Seiberg-Witten (SW) map of a noncommutative (NC) gauge theory gives the commutative equivalent as an ordinary gauge theory coupled to a field dependent effective metric. We study instanton solutions of this commutative equivalent…
IIn this article, we study the instanton equation on the cylinder over a closed manifold $X$ which admits non-zero smooth $3$-form $P$ and $4$-form $Q$. Our results are (1) if $X$ is a \textbf{good} manifold, i.e., $P,Q$ satisfying…
We consider cones over manifolds admitting real Killing spinors and instanton equations on connections on vector bundles over these manifolds. Such cones are manifolds with special (reduced) holonomy. We generalize the scalar ansatz for a…
Invariant integrals of functions and forms over $q$ - deformed Euclidean space and spheres in $N$ dimensions are defined and shown to be positive definite, compatible with the star - structure and to satisfy a cyclic property involving the…
