For commutative Euclidean time, we study the existence of field configurations that {\it a)} are formal power series expansions in $h\theta^{\m\n}$, {\it b)} go to ordinary (anti-)instantons as $h\theta^{\m\n}\to 0$, and {\it c)} render…
Numerical solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with a negative cosmological constant are constructed. These axially symmetric solutions approach asymptotically the anti-de Sitter spacetime and are regular everywhere. They are…
Instantons and their quantisation in pure Yang-Mills theory formulated in the background of de Sitter spacetime represented by spatially-closed ($k = 1$) Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are discussed. As for the classical treatment of the…
We consider Yang-Mills theories formulated on a non-commutative space-time described by a space-time dependent anti-symmetric field $\theta^{\mu\nu}(x)$. Using Seiberg-Witten map techniques we derive the leading order operators for the…
We consider the Hermitian Yang-Mills (instanton) equations for connections on vector bundles over a 2n-dimensional K\"ahler manifold X which is a product Y x Z of p- and q-dimensional Riemannian manifold Y and Z with p+q=2n. We show that in…
We generalise recent results on Hopf instantons in a Chern--Simons and Fermion theory in a fixed background magnetic field. We find that these instanton solutions have to obey the Liouville equation in target space. As a consequence, these…
Let $(M, \omega)$ be a compact connected K\"ahler manifold of complex dimension four and let $[\chi] \in H^{1,1}(M; \mathbb{R})$. We confirmed the conjecture by Collins--Jacob--Yau [arXiv:1508.01934] of the solvability of the deformed…
We develop an iterative method for finding solutions to the hermitian Yang-Mills equation on stable holomorphic vector bundles, following ideas recently developed by Donaldson. As illustrations, we construct numerically the hermitian…
We consider a dimensional reduction of the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills condition on $S^1$-invariant K\"ahler Einstein $6$-manifolds. This allows us to reformulate the (deformed) Hermitian Yang-Mills equations in terms of data on the…
I revisit a basic question about the noncommutative Yang-Mills theory: if it exists or not, or more precisely, whether a nonperturbative formulation exists. As the most promising approach, I consider a formulation based on matrix models. It…
We study the question of whether a sequence of non-instanton Yang-Mills connections can limit to a bubbling configuration composed only of instantons. In the case that the Uhlenbeck limit and the bubbles are of opposite charge, we determine…
We prove that if there exists a $C$-subsolution to a constant coefficients strictly $\Upsilon$-stable general inverse $\sigma_k$ equation, then there exists a unique solution. As a consequence, this result covers all the analytical results…
We discuss the reality properties of the fermionic collective coordinates in Euclidean space in an instanton background and construct hermitean actions for N = 4 and N = 2 supersymmetric Euclidean Yang-Mills theories.
It is shown that the field strength formulated Yang-Mills theory yields the same semiclassics as the standard formulation in terms of the gauge potential. This concerns the classical instanton solutions as well as the quantum fluctuations…
The coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills equations on a time dependent axially symmetric spacetime are investigated, without a priori any conditions on the gauge field. There is numerical evidence for the existence of a regular solution with the…
We construct exact soliton solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs system in noncommutative space, for non-relativistic and relativistic models. In both cases we find regular vortex-like solutions to the BPS equations which approach the…
When it comes to the topological aspects, gravity may have profound effects even at the level of particle physics despite its negligibly small relative strength well below the Planck scale. In spite of this intriguing possibility,…
This is a self-contained set of lecture notes on instantons in (super) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and in quantum mechanics. First the basics are derived from scratch: the regular and singular one-instanton solutions for Yang-Mills…
We show that the apparently periodic Charap-Duff Yang-Mills `instantons' in time-compactified Euclidean Schwarzschild space are actually time independent. For these solutions, the Yang-Mills potential is constant along the time direction…
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…
