The multi-instanton solutions by 'tHooft and Jackiw, Nohl & Rebbi are generalized to curvilinear coordinates. Expressions can be notably simplified by the appropriate gauge transformation. This generates the compensating addition to the…

We investigate a (0,2) gauge theory realized on the world volume of the type IIB D1-brane at the singular point of a Calabi-Yau fourfold. It is argued that the gauge anomaly can be canceled via coupling to the R-R chiral bosons in bulk IIB…

We investigate membrane instanton effects in type IIA strings compactified on rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. These effects contribute to the low-energy effective action of the universal hypermultiplet. In the absence of additional fivebrane…

This letter discusses the orientifold projection of the quantum corrections to type IIA strings compactified on rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds. It is shown that N=2 membrane instanton effects give a holomorphic contribution to the…

In this note, we comment on Calabi-Yau spaces with Hodge numbers $h_{1,1}=3$ and $h_{2,1}=243$. We focus on the Calabi-Yau space $WP_{1,1,2,8,12}(24)$ and show how some of its instanton numbers are related to coefficients of certain modular…

An overview over effects of D-instantons in ten dimensional IIB superstring theory is given, including the supergravity instanton solution, instanton induced effective interaction vertices, the conjectured $SL(2,Z)$ invariant completion of…

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…

Type IIA string theory compactified on a rigid Calabi-Yau threefold gives rise to a classical moduli space that carries an isometric action of U(2,1). Various quantum corrections break this continuous isometry to a discrete subgroup.…

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…

The moduli space of k G-instantons on R^4 for a classical gauge group G is known to be given by the Higgs branch of a supersymmetric gauge theory that lives on Dp branes probing D(p + 4) branes in Type II theories. For p = 3, these (3 + 1)…

The universal hypermultiplet arises as a subsector of every Calabi-Yau compactification of M-theory or Type II string theory. Classically its moduli space is the quaternionic space $SU(2,1)/U(2)$. We show that this moduli space receives a…

In this work, which is a follow-up of arXiv:2102.06512, we document new cosmological solutions from four-dimensional $N=4$ matter-coupled supergravity. The solutions smoothly interpolate between a $dS_2\times S^2$ spacetime at $t\rightarrow…

In this paper we present supersymmetric instanton and non-supersymmetric wormhole solutions for the universal hypermultiplet sector of $d=4$ N=2 supergravity theories. Instantons and wormholes are constructed as saddle points dominating…

We study D-instanton solutions in type IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\times T^{1,1}$, which has a dual ${\cal N}=1$ $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory. Apart from ordinary D(-1)-brane instantons, we discuss wrapped D1-branes over…

We study loop corrections to the universal dilaton supermultiplet for type IIA strings compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds. We show that the corresponding quaternionic kinetic terms receive non-trivial one-loop contributions proportional…

The presence of RR and NS three-form fluxes in type IIB string compactification on a Calabi-Yau orientifold gives rise to a nontrivial superpotential W for the dilaton and complex structure moduli. This superpotential is computable in terms…

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…

We present ADHM-Nahm data for instantons on the Taub-NUT space and encode these data in terms of Bow Diagrams. We study the moduli spaces of the instantons and present these spaces as finite hyperkahler quotients. As an example, we find an…

We construct the most general non-extremal spherically symmetric instanton solution of a gravity-dilaton-axion system with $SL(2,R)$ symmetry, for arbitrary euclidean spacetime dimension $D\geq 3$. A subclass of these solutions describe…

We construct a quaternionic-K\"ahler manifold from a conical special K\"ahler manifold with a certain type of mutually-local variation of BPS structures. We give global and local explicit formulas for the quaternionic-K\"ahler metric, and…
