We construct static solutions to a SU(2) Yang--Mills (YM) dilaton model in 4+1 dimensions subject to bi-azimuthal symmetry. The YM sector of the model consists of the usual YM term and the next higher order term of the YM hierarchy, which…
We consider the Yangs-Mills equations in 4+1 dimensions. This is the energy critical case and we show that it admits a family of solutions which blow up in finite time. They are obtained by the spherically symmetric ansatz in the SO(4)…
Subjecting the SU(2) Yang--Mills system to azimuthal symmetries in both the $x-y$ and the $z-t$ planes results in a residual subsystem described by a U(1) Higgs like model with two complex scalar fields on the quarter plane. The resulting…
We examine the dynamics of noncommutative instantons of instanton number $2$ and commutative instantons of instanton number $3$ in 5d Super Yang Mills theory. We begin by detailing the construction of the 1/4-BPS instanton solutions, their…
We consider the Yang-Mills equations in $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. It is known that in the supercritical case, i.e., for $d \geq 5$, these equations admit closed form equivariant self-similar blowup solutions \cite{BieBiz15}.…
In the two-dimensional CP(N-1) model one can parametrize exact many-instanton solutions via N `constituents' (called `zindons'). This parameterization allows, in principle, a complete `melting' of individual instantons. The model is…
The aim of the present letter is to critically review the stability of the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. The stability question was already studied by several authors, but there seems to be some confusion…
Decay of regular static spherically symmetric solutions in the SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton (YMd) system of equations under the independent excitation of their unstable eigenmodes has been studied self-consistently in the nonlinear regime. The…
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.
We consider an explicit self-similar solution to an energy-supercritical Yang-Mills equation and prove its mode stability. Based on earlier work by one of the authors, we obtain a fully rigorous proof of the nonlinear stability of the…
Our goal is to discover possible new 4-dimensional euclidean solutions (instantons) in fundamental SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, with a constraint added to prevent collapse of the scale. We show that, most likely, there exists one…
We construct a four-parameter class of self-dual instanton solutions of the classical SU(2)-Yang-Mills equations in a closed Euclidean Robertson-Walker space-time.
It is shown that Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton theory has a countable family of static globally regular solutions which are purely magnetic but uncharged. The discrete spectrum of masses of these solutions is bounded from above by the mass of…
We show that there exist finite energy, non-singular instanton solutions for five-dimensional theories with broken gauge symmetry. The soliton is supported against collapse by a non-zero electric charge. The low-energy dynamics of these…
We apply localization techniques to $A$-twisted $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ theories of vector multiplets on $S^{2}$. We derive formulae for $A$-model partition functions and correlators as integrals along a real contour, as opposed to a complex…
New collective coordinates, related to the field at the `center' of the monopoles, are proposed. A systematic computation of the infrared properties of 2+1- and 3+1- dimensional Yang-Mills theory is now possible and is related to solutions…
Multi-instanton solutions in the eight and seven dimensional Yang-Mills fields theory is obtained. Extended-soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic-field-theory equations of motion is constructed from this higher-dimensional…
In this paper we introduce entropy-stability and F-stability for homothetically shrinking Yang-Mills solitons, employing entropy and second variation of $\mathcal{F}$-functional respectively. For a homothetically shrinking soliton which…
Static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Yang-Mills-Dilaton theory are studied. It is shown that these solutions fall into three different classes. The generic solutions are singular. Besides there is a discrete set of globally…
I explain how to construct noncommutative BPS configurations in four and lower dimensions by solving linear matrix equations. Examples are instantons in D=4 Yang-Mills, monopoles in D=3 Yang-Mills-Higgs, and (moving) solitons in D=2+1…
