The field theoretic ADHM instantons have stringy generalizations as linear sigma models. These were constructed by Witten in 1995. Recently Ali and Ilahi constructed a complementary version related to Witten's construction by a duality. In…
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 discuss quantization of complementary ADHM sigma model in parallel with the quantization of the Witten's original ADHM sigma model by Lambert. The mechanisms of divergence cancellation in two models are different from each other.
In this brief note we present the off-shell superspace formalism for Ali-Ilahi's $(0, 4)$ supersymmetric ADHM instanton linear sigma model in harmonic superspace. Ali-Ilahi's model is dual to the $(0, 4)$ supersymmetric ADHM instanton…
Utilizing (4,0) superfields, we discuss aspects of supersymmetric sigma models and the ADHM construction of instantons a' la Witten.
We present the (0,4) superspace version of Witten's sigma model construction for ADHM instantons. We use the harmonic superspace formalism, which exploits the three complex structures common to both (0,4) supersymmetry and self-dual…
We clarify the supersymmetry structure of ADHM instanton linear sigma models, $N=4$ superconformal algebras and superconformal field theories dual to superstrings moving in $AdS_3$ backgrounds in view of some of our recent findings in…
This paper is devoted to the construction of a family of linear sigma models with $(0,4)$ supersymmetry which should flow in the infrared to the stringy version of Yang-Mills instantons on ${\bf R}^4$. The family depends on the full set of…
Witten's linear sigma model for ADHM instantons possesses a natural $(0,4)$ supersymmetry. We study generalizations of the infrared limit of the model that are invariant under $(4,4)$ supersymmetry. In the case of four space-time dimensions…
The conformal symmetry on the instanton moduli space is discussed using the ADHM construction, where a viewpoint of "homogeneous coordinates" for both the spacetime and the moduli space turns out to be useful. It is shown that the conformal…
We use the gauged linear sigma model introduced by Witten to calculate instanton expansions for correlation functions in topological sigma models with target space a toric variety $V$ or a Calabi--Yau hypersurface $M \subset V$. In the…
We study the moduli space of self-dual instantons on $\mathbb{C}P^2$. These are described by an ADHM-like construction which allows to compute the Hilbert series of the moduli space. The latter has been found to be blind to certain compact…
This is a survey article for the mathematical theory of Witten's Gauged Linear Sigma Model, as developed recently by the authors. Instead of developing the theory in the most general setting, in this paper we focus on the description of the…
We extend quaternion calculation in the ADHM construction of Sp(1) (=SU(2)) self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) instantons to the case of biquaternion. We use the biconjugate operation of biquaternion first introduced by Hamilton to construct the…
The arcane ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons can be very naturally understood in the framework of D-brane dynamics in string theory. In this point-of-view, the mysterious auxiliary symmetry of the ADHM construction arises as a…
We study the moduli spaces of self-dual instantons on CP^2 in a simple group G. When G is a classical group, these instanton solutions can be realised using ADHM-like constructions which can be naturally embedded into certain three…
We study in detail the ADHM construction of U(N) instantons on noncommutative Euclidean space-time R_{NC}^4 and noncommutative space R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We point out that the completeness condition in the ADHM construction could be invalidated…
We give a superfield extension of the ADHM construction for the Euclidean theory obtained by Wick rotation from the Lorentzian four dimensional N=1 super Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we investigate the procedure to guarantee the…
We discuss the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin (ADHM) construction of U(N) instantons in noncommutative (NC) space and prove the one-to-one correspondence between moduli spaces of the noncommutative instantons and the ADHM data, together with…
We describe the modern formalism, ideas and applications of the instanton calculus for gauge theories with, and without, supersymmetry. Particular emphasis is put on developing a formalism that can deal with any number of instantons. This…
