Explicit solutions for extended objects of a Q-ball type were found analytically in a model describing complex scalar field with piecewise parabolic potential in (3+1)- and (1+1)-dimensional space-times. Such a potential provides a variety…
In this letter we consider higher-dimensional Yang-Mills theories and examine their consistent coset space dimensional reduction. Utilizing a suitable ansatz and imposing a simple set of constraints we determine the four-dimensional gauge…
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 find the perturbation spectrum of a family of spherically symmetric and continuously self-similar (CSS) exact solutions that appear to be relevant for the critical collapse of scalar field matter in 2+1 spacetime dimensions. The rate of…
It is known that inhomogeneous second-order macroscopic traffic models can reproduce the phantom traffic jam phenomenon: whenever the sub-characteristic condition is violated, uniform traffic flow is unstable, and small perturbations grow…
This article gives explicit solutions to the Yang-Mills equations. The solutions have positive energy that can be made arbitrarily small by selection of a parameter showing that Yang-Mills field theories do not have a mass gap.
The stability of the recently discovered compacton solutions is studied by means of both linear stability analysis as well as Lyapunov stability criteria. From the results obtained it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton…
A new classical solution for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, in which the Euclidean energy plays a role of a parameter is found. A correspondence between this solution and the known selfdual multi-instanton configuration, which has the…
We show why and how the $I\bar I$ valley trajectory commonly used in the literature so far is in fact unsatisfactory. A better $I\bar I$ valley is suggested. We also give analytic expressions for the multiple instanton-antiinstanton…
The purpose of this study is to show that the exact solutions to Yang-Mills theory can occur in two-dimensional space-time. We show that the instability of the stationary solutions for the nonabelian gauge field theories questioned by the…
We establish the global existence and stability to the future of non-linear perturbation of de Sitter-like solutions to the Einstein-Yang-Mills system in $n \geq 4$ spacetime dimension. This generalizes Friedrich's Einstein-Yang-Mills…
We give a complete classification of all static, spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with a positive cosmological constant. Our classification proceeds in two steps. We first extend solutions of the…
We construct (anti)instanton solutions of a would-be q-deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on the quantum Euclidean space R_q^4 [the SO_q(4)-covariant noncommutative space] by reinterpreting the function algebra on the latter as a q-quaternion…
We use biquaternion to construct SL(2,C) ADHM Yang-Mills instantons. The solutions contain 16k-6 moduli parameters for the kth homotopy class, and include as a subset the SL(2,C) (M,N) instanton solutions constructed previously. In…
We calculate the one-instanton contribution to the prepotential in $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory from the microscopic viewpoint. We find that the holomorphy argument simplifies the group integrations of the instanton…
We study an extension of the ADHM construction to give deformed anti-self-dual (ASD) instantons in N=1/2 super Yang-Mills theory with U(n) gauge group. First we extend the exterior algebra on superspace to non(anti)commutative superspace…
The non-perturbative behavior of the N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is both highly non-trivial and tractable. In the last three years the valuable progress was achieved in the instanton counting, the direct evaluation of the…
We construct octonionic multi-instantons for the eight and seven dimensional Yang-Mills theory. Extended soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic field theory equations of motion are constructed from these octonionic multi-instantons.…
By using the recursion relations found in the framework of N=2 Super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2), we reconstruct the structure of the instanton moduli space and its volume form for all winding numbers. The construction is…
We study vortex-type solutions in a (4+1)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills-SU(2) model. Assuming all fields to be independent on the extra coordinate, these solutions correspond in a four dimensional picture to axially symmetric…
