By exploring a possible physical realisation of the geometric concept of noncommutative tangent bundle, we outline an axiomatic quantum picture of space as topological manifold and time as a count of its reconfiguration events.
In the presence of membranes, M-theory becomes in the low energy limit 11 dimensional supergravity action coupled to a supermembrane action. The fields of the first action are the same fields which couple to the membrane. It is shown that…

In the description of the instanton Floer homology of a surface times a circle due to Mu\~{n}oz, we compute the nilpotency degree of the endomorphism $u^2-64$. We then compute the framed instanton homology of a surface times a circle with…
We generalize the recently proposed noncommutative ADHM construction to the case of $\Gamma$-equivariant instantons over $\R^4$, with $\Gamma$ a Kleinian group. We show that a certain form of the inhomogeneous ADHM equations describes…
We find a new homogeneous solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a cosmological term. The spacetime manifold is $R \times S^3$. The spacetime metric admits a simply transitive isometry group $G = R \times SU(2)$ of isometries and…
In this note, we revisit some well-known examples of instantons on flat space that were originally discovered in the physics literature. In particular, we explain how the basic instanton on $\mathbb{R}^4$, with its flat hyperkaehler…
We calculate instanton corrections to three dimensional gauge theories with N=4 and N=8 supersymmetry and SU(n) gauge groups. The N=4 results give new information about the moduli space of n BPS SU(2) monopoles, including the leading order…
We study supergravity instantons sourced by axion (and saxion) fields in the Euclidean $AdS_3\times S^3 \times CY_2$ vacua of IIB supergravity. Such instantons are described by geodesic curves on the moduli space; the timelike geodesics can…
Inspired by the renormalizability of the non-commutative Phi^4 model with added oscillator term, we formulate a non-commutative gauge theory, where the oscillator enters as a gauge fixing term in a BRST invariant manner. All propagators…
Kappa-Minkowski space-time is an example of noncommutative space-time with potentially interesting phenomenological consequences. However, the construction of field theories on this space, although operationally well-defined, is plagued…
We study the representation theory of the nested instantons quiver presented in [1], which describes a particular class of surface defects in four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. We show that the moduli space of its stable…
Taubes proved that all compact oriented four-manifolds admit non-flat instantons. We show that there exists a non-compact oriented four-manifold having no non-flat instanton.
We define and study projective special para-Kahler manifolds and show that they appear as target manifolds when reducing five-dimensional vector multiplets coupled to supergravity with respect to time. The dimensional reductions with…

We consider the elliptic-elliptic Davey-Stewartson system in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, and we give sufficient conditions for the existence of finite time blow-up solutions in non-isotropic spaces. The proof is based on some…
This paper presents a novel approach to establish a blow-up mechanism for the forced 3D incompressible Euler equations, with a specific focus on non-axisymmetric solutions. We construct solutions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ within the function space…
