Instanton calculations are demonstrated from a viewpoint of twisted topological field theory. Various properties become manifest such that perturbative corrections are terminated at one-loop, and norm cancellations occur between bosonic and…
We introduce an explicit form of the multi-instanton weight including also instanton--anti-instanton interactions for arbitrary $N_c$ in the two-dimensional $CP^{N_c-1}$ model. To that end, we use the parametrization of multi-instantons in…
Using a specific form of the triple product identity, polygonal number identities are stated. Further number identities are examined that can be considered identities related to modular sets of numbers. The identities can be used to give…
The ADHM constraints which implicitly specify instanton gauge field configurations are solved for the explicit general form of instantons with topological charge two and gauge group U(N).
Numerical and anaytical studies of the instanton liquid model have allowed the determination of many hadronic parameters during the last 13 years. Most part of this thesis is devoted to the extension of the analytical methods. The meson…
We discuss duality between the linear and chiral dilaton formulations, in the presence of super-Yang-Mills instanton corrections to the effective action. In contrast to previous work on the subject, our approach appeals directly to explicit…
We propose a method to construct a variety of partition identities at once. The main application is an all-moduli generalization of some of Andrews' results in [5]. The novelty is that the method constructs solutions to functional equations…
We analyze a class of dual pairs of heterotic and type I models based on freely-acting $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifolds in four dimensions. Using the adiabatic argument, it is possible to calculate non-perturbative contributions…
We show that multiscaling properties of developed turbulence in shell models, which lead to anomalous scaling exponents in the inertial range, are determined exclusively by instanton dynamics. Instantons represent correlated extreme events…
In this paper, we derive some identities involving special numbers and moments of random variables by using the generating functions of the moments of certain random variables. Here the related special numbers are Stirling numbers of the…
We clarify certain aspects of instanton operators in five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, we show how, in the pointlike limit, they become supersymmetric and provide the natural bridge with the instantonic states…
The non-perturbative low energy effective action of N=2 SYM is studied within a microscopic string realization via D3/D-instanton systems. The localization deformation of instanton moduli space which has allowed the exact computation of…
Instanton theory has arisen as a practical tool for calculating tunneling splittings in molecular systems. Unfortunately, the original formulation of instanton theory fundamentally breaks down when trying to calculate the level splitting in…
We propose a notion of instanton bundle (called $H$-instanton bundle) on any projective variety of dimension three polarized by a very ample divisor $H$, that naturally generalizes the ones on $\mathbb{P}^3$ and on the flag threefold…
There are several knot invariants in the literature that are defined using singular instantons. Such invariants provide strong tools to study the knot group and give topological applications. For instance, it gives powerful tools to study…
In these lecture notes duality tests and instanton effects in supersymmetric vacua of string theory are discussed. A broad overview of BPS-saturated terms in the effective actions is first given. Their role in testing the consistency of…
We give an ADHM type description of instantons on ALE spaces for classical groups as an extension of the description in [KN90] for unitary groups.
We give some new refinements and reverses Young inequalities in both additive-type and multiplicative-type for two positive numbers/operators. We show our advantages by comparing with known results. A few applications are also given. Some…
Starting from a small number of well-motivated axioms, we derive a unique definition of sums with a noninteger number of addends. These "fractional sums" have properties that generalize well-known classical sum identities in a natural way.…
We revisit the generalised ADHM construction for instantons in non-commutative space using a manifestly quaternionic formalism. This leads to an identification of the self-dual part of theta^mn as the imaginary part of the size modulus of…
