In abstract Yang-Mills theory the standard instanton construction relies on the Hodge star having real eigenvalues which makes it inapplicable in the Lorentzian case. We show that for the affine connection an instanton-type construction can…
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…
Recent developments in the understanding of $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions suggest a new point of view about Donaldson theory of four manifolds: instead of defining four-manifold invariants by counting $SU(2)$…
A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of $R^3_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(3)$. For each of its two $SO_q(3)$-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and…
We generalize the spectral-curve construction of moduli spaces of instantons on $\MT{4}$ and $K_3$ to noncommutative geometry. We argue that the spectral-curves should be constructed inside a twisted $\MT{4}$ or $K_3$ that is an elliptic…
We study $\mathfrak{g}$-valued Yang-Mills fields on cylinders $Z(G/H)=\mathbb{R} \times G/H$, where G/H is a compact seven-dimensional coset space with $G_2$-structure, $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of G, and Z(G/H) inherits a…
We study the pure-gauge sector of an $SU(N)$ gauge theory, equivariantly gauge fixed to $SU(N-1)\times U(1)$, which is an asymptotically free non-linear sigma model in four dimensions. We show that dimensional transmutation takes place in…
In the preceding paper (Phys. Lett. B463 (1999) 257), the authors presented a q-analog of the ADHMN construction and obtained a family of anti-selfdual configurations with a parameter q for classical SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in…
It is shown that the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in $3$-dimensional Riemann-Cartan space-time can be completely reformulated as a gravity-like theory in terms of gauge invariant variables. The resulting Yang-Mills induced equations are found,…
We relate the moduli space of Yang-Mills instantons to quaternionic manifolds. For instanton number one, the Wolf spaces play an important role. We apply these ideas to instanton calculations in N=4 SYM theory.
We employ the twistor approach to the construction of U(2) multi-instantons `a la 't Hooft on noncommutative R^4. The noncommutative deformation of the Corrigan-Fairlie-'t Hooft-Wilczek ansatz is derived. However, naively substituting into…
We introduce the basic equivariant quantity $Q$ in the gauge theory on the noncommutative descrete $Z_{2}$ space, which plays an important role for the equivariant dimensional reduction. If the gauge configuration of the ground state on the…
This paper discusses the relationships between gauge theories defined by gauge groups with finite trivially-acting centers, and theories with restrictions on nonperturbative sectors, in two and four dimensions. In two dimensions, these…
We consider SU(3)-equivariant dimensional reduction of Yang-Mills theory over certain cyclic orbifolds of the 5-sphere which are Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. We obtain new quiver gauge theories extending those induced via reduction over the…
Almost all known instanton solutions in noncommutative Yang-Mills theory have been obtained in the modified ADHM scheme. In this paper we employ two alternative methods for the construction of the self-dual U(2) BPST instanton on a…
Spatial compactification on $\mathbb R^{3} \times \mathbb S^1_L$ at small $\mathbb S^1$-size $L$ often leads to a calculable vacuum structure, where various "topological molecules" are responsible for confinement and the realization of the…
It is shown that a $d$-dimensional classical SU(N) Yang-Mills theory can be formulated in a $d+2$-dimensional space, with the extra two dimensions forming a surface with non-commutative geometry.
Generalizing the quantum sine-Gordon and sausage models, we construct exact S-matrices for higher spin representations with quantum U_q(su(2)) symmetry, which satisfy unitarity, crossing-symmetry, and the Yang-Baxter equations with…
For an $S_4$ space-time manifold global aspects of gauge-fixing are investigated using the relation to Topological Quantum Field Theory on the gauge group. The partition function of this TQFT is shown to compute the regularized Euler…
We construct actions for four dimensional noncommutative Yang-Mills theory with star-gauge symmetry, with non-constant noncommutativity, to all orders in the noncommutativity. Our construction covers all noncommutative spaces corresponding…
