In this work, we study cosmological solutions of the 8-dimensional Einstein Yang-Mills theory coupled to a perfect-fluid matter. A Yang-Mills instanton of extra dimensions causes a 4-dimensional expanding universe with dynamical…
In this paper we continue the programme of topologically twisting N=2 theories in D=4, focusing on the coupling of vector multiplets to N=2 supergravity. We show that in the minimal case, namely when the special geometry prepotential F(X)…
We present a unified eight-dimensional approach to instanton equations on several seven-dimensional manifolds associated to a six-dimensional homogeneous nearly K\"ahler manifold. The cone over the sine-cone on a nearly K\"ahler manifold…
Self-dual Yang-Mills instantons on $R^4$ correspond to algebraic ADHM data. The ADHM equations for $S^1$-symmetric instantons give a one-dimensional integrable lattice system, which may be viewed as an discretization of the Nahm equations.…
We consider the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in seven dimensions. Modifying the t'Hooft construction of instantons in $d=4$, we find $N$-instanton $7d$ solutions which depend on $8N$ effective parameters and are $E_{6}$-invariant.
Through techniques afforded by $C^*$-algebras and Hilbert modules, we study the topology of spaces which parametrize families of instanton gauge fields on noncommutative Euclidean four-spheres $S^4_\sigma$. By deforming the ADHM…
We propose explicit formulae for the integration measure on the moduli space of charge-n ADHM multi-instantons in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. The form of this measure is fixed by its (super)symmetries as well as the physical…
We describe special supersymmetric gauge theories in three, five, seven and nine dimensions, whose compactification on two-, four-, six- and eight-folds produces a supersymmetric quantum mechanics on moduli spaces of holomorphic bundles…
The universal hypermultiplet moduli space metric in the type-IIA superstring theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold is related to integrable systems. The instanton corrections in four dimensions arise due to multiple wrapping of BPS…
ADHM Yang-Mills instantons are extended field theoretical objects. These are more general than the more familiar 't Hooft Yang-Mills instantons. Their counter parts exist in string theory in terms of sigma models. Nearly three decades ago…
We give model-independent arguments, valid in nearly any number of spacetime dimensions, that topological solitons and instantons satisfy Bogomol'nyi-type bounds and, when these bounds are saturated, satisfy self-duality equations. In the…
Higher dimensional generalisations of self-duality conditions and of theta angle terms are analysed in Yang-Mills theories. For the theory on a torus, the torus metric and various antisymmetric tensors are viewed as coupling constants…
A previous analysis of possible constraints of Yang-Mills instantons in the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking is extended to supersymmetric QCD. It is again found that a constraint is necessary for the gauge field in second and…
We construct some classes of instanton solutions of eight dimensional noncommutative ADHM equations generalizing the solutions of eight dimensional commutative ADHM equations found by Papadopoulos and Teschendorff, and interpret them as…
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 construct solutions of an Einstein-Yang-Mills system including a cosmological constant in 4+n space-time dimensions, where the n-dimensional manifold associated with the extra dimensions is taken to be Ricci flat. Assuming the matter and…
In this paper we show how hypercomplex function theoretical objects can be used to construct explicitly self-dual SU(2)-Yang-Mills instanton solutions on certain classes of conformally flat 4-manifolds. We use a hypercomplex argument…
We study the relationship between instanton counting in N=4 Yang-Mills theory on a generic four-dimensional toric orbifold and the semi-classical expansion of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the blowups of the minimal resolution of the…
We study instanton-corrected renormalization group flow in the two dimensional sigma models and four dimensional gauge theory. In two dimensions we do that by replacing the non-linear supersymmetric ${\IC\IP}^{N-1}$ model by the gauged…
We show that the non-perturbative dynamics of $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theories in a self-dual $\Omega$-background and with an arbitrary simple gauge group is fully determined by studying renormalization group equations of vevs of…
