We study $SU(2)$ calorons, also known as periodic instantons, and consider invariance under isometries of $S^1\times\mathbb{R}^3$ coupled with a non-spatial isometry called the rotation map. In particular, we investigate the fixed points…
We study the twistor spaces of toric ALE gravitational instantons of type $A_{2n-1}$ and the associated non-standard minitwistor spaces introduced by Hitchin. By analyzing the base locus of the linear system that induces the quotient…
We model A_k and D_k asymptotically locally flat gravitational instantons on the moduli spaces of solutions of U(2) Bogomolny equations with prescribed singularities. We study these moduli spaces using Ward correspondence and find their…
Conventional non-Abelian SO(4) gauge theory is able to describe gravity provided the gauge field possesses a specific polarized vacuum state in which the instantons have a preferred orientation. Their orientation plays the role of the order…
We give analytic expressions for the gravitational inner spherical multipole moments, q_{lm} with l <= 5, for 11 elementary solid shapes. These moments, in conjunction with their known rotational and translational properties, can be used to…
We employ the ADHM method to derive the moduli space of two instantons in U(1) gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We show by an explicit hyperK\"ahler quotient construction that the relative metric of the moduli space of two instantons…
We study the gravitational waves in spacetimes of arbitrary dimension. They generalize the pp-waves and the Kundt waves, obtained earlier in four dimensions. Explicit solutions of the Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell equations are derived for…
We determine all orbits of the prehomogeneous vector space $(\mathrm{GL}_5\times \mathrm{GL}_4,\wedge^2\mathrm{Aff}^5 \otimes \mathrm{Aff}^4)$ rationally over an arbitrary perfect field in this paper.
We classify simply-connected homogeneous ($D+1$)-dimensional spacetimes for kinematical and aristotelian Lie groups with $D$-dimensional space isotropy for all $D\geq 0$. Besides well-known spacetimes like Minkowski and (anti) de Sitter we…
Significant (marginal) detections of periodic signals have been recently reported in 3 (4) Active Galactic Nuclei. Three of the detections were obtained from long EUVE light curves of moderate-luminosity Seyfert galaxies; the fourth was…
In this paper, using the Atiyah-Ward equivalence and a theorem of Hitchin, one makes to correspond to certain bundles on the projective space, which are extensions of instanton bundles (in particular, these new bundles may have the first…
We generalise recent results on Hopf instantons in a Chern--Simons and Fermion theory in a fixed background magnetic field. We find that these instanton solutions have to obey the Liouville equation in target space. As a consequence, these…
We argue that a large region of so far unconstrained parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs), where their couplings to the Standard Model are of order $(0.01\!-\!1)\,\mbox{TeV}^{-1}$, can be explored by searches for the exotic Higgs…
We prove a functional transcendence theorem for the integrals of algebraic forms in families of algebraic varieties. This allows us to prove a geometric version of Andr\'e's generalization of the Grothendieck period conjecture, which we…
In this paper, the Conley conjecture, which were recently proved by Franks and Handel \cite{FrHa} (for surfaces of positive genus), Hingston \cite{Hi} (for tori) and Ginzburg \cite{Gi} (for closed symplectically aspherical manifolds), is…
We discuss the O(4) invariant perturbation modes of cosmological instantons. These modes are spatially homogeneous in Lorentzian spacetime and thus not relevant to density perturbations. But their properties are important in establishing…
Linear superposition of gravitational fields is shown to be possible for a large class of spacetimes, in some specific coordinates. Explicit examples are presented.
We discuss the effects of instantons in partially broken gauge groups on the low-energy effective gauge theory. Such effects arise when some of the instantons of the original gauge group G are no longer contained in (or can not be gauge…
AG codes correspond geometrically to points in the Grassmannian of k-planes in an n-dimensional projective space PG(n, F_q) defined over a finite field F_q of q elements. We prove that invariant subgrassmannians by the action of a triangle…
We study the period map from infinitesimal deformations of a scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ to those of the associated $k$-linear $\infty$-category $\mathrm{QC}(X)$. For quasicompact, smooth, and separated $X$, we identify the…
