We show that the transformation of D-branes under T-duality on four-torus is represented by Nahm transform of instantons. The argument for this allows us to generalize Nahm transform to the case of orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups as…
We find an exact solution, with a nonzero net D-brane charge, in the boundary string field theory of brane-anti-brane pairs on a torus. We explicitly take the T-dual of this configuration. The Nahm-transformation of the instantons is…
This thesis is designed for a comprehensive review of noncommutative (BPS) solitons with applications to D-brane dynamics including our works. We focus on noncommutative instantons and monopoles and study various aspects of the exact…
There is a Nahm transform for two-dimensional gauge fields which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the orbit space of U(N) gauge fields with topological charge k defined on a torus and that of U(k) gauge fields with charge N…
We construct the Nahm transform from finite energy instantons on the product of a real line and a three dimensional torus to Dirac-type singular monopoles on the dual torus. Moreover, we show the correspondence between the data which handle…
Calorons (periodic instantons) are anti-self-dual (ASD) connections on S^1 \times R^3 and form an intermediate case between instantons and monopoles. The ADHM and Nahm constructions of instantons and monopoles can be regarded as…
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory…
We show that the relation between D-branes and noncommutative tachyons leads very naturally to the relation between D-branes and K-theory. We also discuss some relations between D-branes and K-homology, provide a noncommutative…
We review the construction known as the Nahm transform in a generalized context, which includes all the examples of this construction already described in the literature. The Nahm transform for translation invariant instantons on $\real^4$…
We study D0-branes in type IIA on $T^2$ with a background B-field turned on. We calculate explicitly how the background B-field modifies the D0-brane action. The effect of the B-field is to replace ordinary multiplication with a…
Following two different tracks, we arrive at a definition of Nahm's transformation valid for self-dual fields on the 4-dimensional torus with non-zero twist tensor.The transform is again a self-dual gauge field defined on a new torus and…
Supergravity on $AdS_3\times S^3\times {\bf T}^4$ has a dual description as a conformal sigma-model with the target space being the moduli space of instantons on the noncommutative torus. We derive the precise relation between the…
In this thesis we will discuss various aspects of noncommutative geometry and compactified Little-String theories. First we will give an introduction to the use of noncommutative geometry in string theory. Thereafter we will present a proof…
We study systems of D3 and D(-1) branes in a NS-NS magnetic background and show that, when the brane configuration is stable, the physical degrees of freedom of the open strings with at least one end-point on the D-instantons describe the…
We embed the multi-fractional instantons of $SU(N)$ gauge theories on $\mathbb T^4$ with 't Hooft twisted boundary conditions into $U(N)$ bundles and use the Nahm transform to study the corresponding configurations on the dual…
We continue our study of the noncommutative algebraic and differential geometry of a particular class of deformations of toric varieties, focusing on aspects pertinent to the construction and enumeration of noncommutative instantons on…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of doubly periodic instantons with square-integrable curvature. Then, we establish the equivalence given by the Nahm transform between the doubly periodic instantons with square integrable curvature and the…
D-instantons are used to probe the near-horizon geometry of D3-branes systems on orbifold spaces. For fractional D3-branes, D-instanton calculus correctly reproduces the gauge beta-function and U(1)_R anomaly of the corresponding N=2…
We present an introduction to the use of noncommutative geometry for gauge theories with emphasis on a construction of instantons for a class of four dimensional toric noncommutative manifolds. These instantons are solutions of self-duality…
We review the specific problems that arise when studying instantons on a torus. We discuss how the Nahm transformation shows that no exact charge one instanton on T**4 can exist. However, taking one of the directions (the time) to infinity,…
