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 construct $\theta$-deformations of the classical groups SL(2,H) and Sp(2). Coacting on the basic instanton on a noncommutative four-sphere $S^4_\theta$, we construct a noncommutative family of instantons of charge 1. The family is…

Instanton contributions to the anomalous dimensions of gauge-invariant composite operators in the N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory are studied in the one-instanton sector. Independent sets of scalar operators of bare dimension 2,…

We search for an abelian description of the Yang-Mills instantons on certain eight dimensional manifolds with the special holonomies $Spin(7)$ and SU(4). By mimicing the Seiberg-Witten theory in four dimensions, we propose a set of…

We consider a U(4) Yang-Mills theory on M x S_F^2 x S_F^2 where M is an arbitrary Riemannian manifold and S_F^2 x S_F^2 is the product of two fuzzy spheres spontaneously generated from a SU(\cal {N}) Yang-Mills theory on M which is suitably…

A superintegrable finite model of the quantum isotropic oscillator in two dimensions is introduced. It is defined on a uniform lattice of triangular shape. The constants of the motion for the model form an SU(2) symmetry algebra. It is…

We study both analytically and numerically a coupled system of spherically symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton equation in 3+1 Minkowski space-time. It has been found that the system admits a hidden scale invariance which becomes transparent…

We investigate the self-dual Yang-Mills gauge configurations on $R^3\times S^1$ when the gauge symmetry SU(2) is broken to U(1) by the Wilson loop. We construct the explicit field configuration for a single instanton by the Nahm method and…

We establish a dimension formula for the unreduced singular instanton homology of dual knots $\widetilde{K}_{p/q}\subset S^3_{p/q}(K)$ for a knot $K\subset S^3$: $$ \dim I^\sharp(S^3_{p/q}(K),\widetilde{K}_{p/q},\omega; \mathbb{K}) = 2q…
