We construct explicit BPS and non-BPS solutions of the U(2k) Yang-Mills equations on the noncommutative space R^{2n}_\theta x S^2 with finite energy and topological charge. By twisting with a Dirac multi-monopole bundle over S^2, we reduce…
We give model-independent arguments, valid in nearly any number of spacetime dimensions, that topological solitons and instantons satisfy Bogomol'nyi-type bounds and, when these bounds are saturated, satisfy self-duality equations. In the…
We discuss four-dimensional "spatially homogeneous" gravitational instantons. These are self-dual solutions of Euclidean vacuum Einstein's equations with potentially non-vanishing cosmological constant. They are endowed with a product…
Since the lightcone self dual spherical membrane, moving in flat target backgrounds, has a direct correspondence with the SU(\infty) Nahm equations and the continuous Toda theory, we construct the quantum/Moyal deformations of the self dual…
We extend the relation between instanton and monopole solutions of the selfduality equations in SU(2) gauge theory to noncommutative space-times. Using this approach and starting from a noncommutative multi-instanton solution we construct a…
In this work we obtain classical solutions of the bosonic sector of the supermembrane theory with two-form fluxes associated to a quantized constant $C_{\pm}$ background. This theory satisfies a flux condition on the worldvolume that…
By analysing supersymmetry transformations we derive new BPS equations for the D=11 fivebrane propagating in flat space that involve the world-volume three-form. The equations generalise those of 2,3,4 and 5 dimensional special Lagrangian…
Four-dimensional quaternion-Kaehler metrics with an isometry are determined by solutions to the SU($\infty$) Toda equation. We set up a perturbation theory to construct approximate solutions to the latter which can be interpreted as…
Generalizing self-duality on R^2 x S^2 to higher dimensions, we consider the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau equations on R^{2n} x S^2 and their noncommutative deformation for the gauge group U(2). Imposing SO(3) invariance (up to gauge…
A broad class of higher dimensional instanton solutions are found for a theory which contains gravity, a scalar field and antisymmetric tensor fields of arbitrary rank. The metric used, a warp product of an arbitrary number of any compact…
The main result is a computation of the Nahm transform of a SU(2)-instanton over RxT^3, called spatially-periodic instanton. It is a singular monopole over T^3, a solution to the Bogomolny equation, whose rank is computed and behavior at…
In a spacetime with nonvanishing torsion there can occur topologically stable configurations associated with the frame bundle which are independent of the curvature. The relevant topological invariants are integrals of local scalar…
The relativistic theory of unconstrained $p$-dimensional membranes ($p$-branes) is further developed and then applied to the embedding model of induced gravity. Space-time is considered as a 4-dimensional unconstrained membrane evolving in…
We consider three-dimensional inviscid irrotational flow in a two layer fluid under the effects of gravity and surface tension, where the upper fluid is bounded above by a rigid lid and the lower fluid is bounded below by a flat bottom. We…
Families of solutions to the field equations of the covariant BRST invariant effective action of the membrane theory are constructed. The equations are discussed in a double dimensional reduction, they lead to a nonlinear equation for a one…
We derive the large order behavior of the perturbative expansion for the continuous model of tethered self-avoiding membranes. It is controlled by a classical configuration for an effective potential in bulk space, which is the analog of…
The exact quantum integrability aspects of a sector of the membrane is investigated. It is found that spherical membranes ( in the lightcone gauge) moving in flat target spacetime backgrounds admit a class of integrable solutions linked to…
We derive the BPS equations satisfied by lump solitons in $(2+1)$-dimensional sigma models with toric 8-dimensional hyper-K\"ahler (${HK}_8$) target spaces and check they preserve 1/2 of the supersymmetry. We show how these solitons are…
We discover a new class of topological solitons. These solitons can exist in a space of infinite volume like, e.g., $\mathbb{R}^n$, but they cannot be placed in any finite volume, because the resulting formal solutions have infinite energy.…
We consider the anisotropic evolution of spatial dimensions and the stabilization of internal dimensions in the framework of brane gas cosmology. We observe that the bulk RR field can give an effective potential which prevents the internal…
