We consider the quantum inverse scattering method for several mixed integrable models based on the rational SU(N) R-matrix with general toroidal boundary conditions. This includes systems whose Hilbert spaces are invariant by the discrete…
It has long been conjectured that the Euclidean Schwarzschild and Euclidean Kerr instantons are the only non-trivial asymptotically flat (AF) gravitational instantons. In this letter, we show that this conjecture is false by explicitly…
We apply mirror symmetry to the problem of counting holomorphic rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold X with Z_3 x Z_3 Wilson lines. As we found in Part A [hep-th/0703182], the integral homology group H_2(X,Z)=Z^3 + Z_3 + Z_3 contains…
We classify the irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on non-reduced algebraic plane curves, and give a formula for the multiplicities of the irreducible components. The irreducible components are indexed by partitions…
We study instanton and Ulrich bundles on hypersurfaces of the projective space, with a focus on special cubic fourfolds and generalized Pfaffians, notably defined by skew-symmetric endomorphisms of Steiner bundles. We prove that the acyclic…
A number of observables are constructed which can give useful information on instanton ensembles.The basic properties used are : (1) Instantons are SU(2) configurations ,(2)They are self-dual or antiself-dual.
We consider instanton effects in a non-supersymmetric gauge theory obtained by marginal deformations of the N=4 SYM. This gauge theory is expected to be dual to type IIB string theory on the AdS_5 times deformed-S^5 background. From an…
Let $X$ be a finite partially ordered set, $R$ an associative unital ring and $\sigma$ an endomorphism of $R$. We describe some properties of the skew incidence ring $I(X,R,\sigma)$ such as invertible elements, idempotents, the Jacobson…
We describe the results that have so far been obtained in the classification problem for integrable (2+1)-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type. The systems of Gibbons--Tsarev type are the most fundamental here. A whole class of…
We construct SU(2)^2xU(1)-invariant G_2-instantons on the asymptotically conical limit of the C7 family of G_2-metrics. The construction uses a dynamical systems approach involving perturbations of an abelian solution and a solution on the…
We study finite action anti-self-dual Yang-Mills connections on the multi-Taub-NUT space. We establish the curvature and the harmonic spinors decay rates and compute the index of the associated Dirac operator. This is the first in a series…
A general scheme for determining and studying integrable deformations of algebraic curves, based on the use of Lenard relations, is presented. We emphasize the use of several types of dynamical variables : branches, power sums and…
Chiral quark model with a broken-U(3) flavor symmetry can be interpreted as the effective theory of the instanton-dominated non-perturbative QCD. This naturally suggests the possibility of a negative singlet/octet coupling ratio, which has…
The anti-self-dual projection of the spin connections of certain four-dimensional Einstein manifolds can be Abelian in nature. These configurations signify bundle reductions. By a theorem of Kobayashi and Nomizu such a process is predicated…
In the study of quantum-mechanical tunneling processes, numerous approaches have been developed to determine the decay rate of states initially confined within a metastable potential region. Virtually all analytical treatments, however,…
We introduce the coupled instanton equations for a metric, a spinor, a three-form, and a connection on a bundle, over a spin manifold. Special solutions in dimensions $6$ and $7$ arise, respectively, from the Hull--Strominger and the…
In this paper we determine a class of admissible matrices which are the Hilbert functions of some 0-dimensional schemes in $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1$.
We investigate the self-dual Yang-Mills gauge configurations on $R^3\times S^1$ when the gauge symmetry SU(2) is broken to U(1) by the Wilson loop. We construct the explicit field configuration for a single instanton by the Nahm method and…
We study superpotentials from worldsheet instantons in heterotic Calabi-Yau compactifications for vector bundles constructed from line bundle sums, monads and extensions. Within a certain class of manifolds and for certain second homology…
An integrable Kondo problem in the one-dimensional supersymmetric extended Hubbard model is studied by means of the boundary graded quantum inverse scattering method. The boundary $K$ matrices depending on the local moments of the…
