Based on the new valley equation, we propose the most plausible method for constructing instanton-like configurations in the theory where the presence of a mass scale prevents the existence of the classical solution with a finite radius. We…

The properties of periodic instanton solutions of the classical SU(2) gauge theory with a Higgs doublet field are described analytically at low energies, and found numerically for all energies up to and beyond the sphaleron energy.…

A self-consistent ansatz is presented for a four-dimensional euclidean solution (instanton) in the vacuum sector of constrained SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory.

We develop a systematic treatment for the quasi-zero modes, which play an important role in nonabelian gauge theories. It can be used to derive the analytic forms for the constrained instantons in the \ymh theory. This will automatically…

We study self-dual SU(N) gauge field configurations on the 4 torus with twisted boundary conditions, known as fractional instantons. Focusing on the minimum non-zero action case, we generalize the constant field strength solutions…

Instanton theory is an established method to calculate rate constants of chemical reactions including atom tunneling. Technical and methodological improvements increased its applicability. Still, a large number of energy and gradient…

The effects of instantons close to the cut-off is studied in four dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with higher order derivative terms in the action. It is found in the framework of the dilute instanton gas approximation that the convergence…

We extend the method of matrix partition to obtain explicitly the gauge field for noncommutative ADHM construction in some general cases. As an application of this method we apply it to the U(2) 2-instanton and get explicit result for the…

In this article we consider a path integral formulation of the Hubbard model based on a SU(2)-symmetrical Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation that couples auxiliary field to the local electronic density. This decoupling is known to have a…

The ADHM constraints which implicitly specify instanton gauge field configurations are solved for the explicit general form of instantons with topological charge two and gauge group U(N).

Field strength formulated Yang-Mills theory is confronted with the traditional formulation in terms of gauge fields. It is shown that both formulations yield the same semiclassics, in particular the same instanton physics. However, at the…

\noindent A formalism based on path-integral expression of time-evolution operator during tunneling at a finite energy proposed by the authors is applied to $SU(2)$ gauge-Higgs system to produce Higgs particles with $\Delta B=1$. Instead of…

The Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory may be viewed as a prediction for the infinite family of constants F_n measuring the n-instanton contribution to the prepotential F. Here we examine the instanton physics…

We study the path-integral formalism in the imaginary-time to show its validity in a case with a metastable ground state. The well-known method based on the bounce solution leads to the imaginary part of the energy even for a state that is…

When instantons are put into the Higgs phase, vortices are attached to instantons. We construct such composite solitons as 1/4 BPS states in five-dimensional supersymmetric U(Nc) gauge theory with Nf(>=Nc) fundamental hypermultiplets. We…

Our goal is to discover possible new 4-dimensional euclidean solutions (instantons) in fundamental SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, with a constraint added to prevent collapse of the scale. We show that, most likely, there exists one…

We present the idea of using the holonomy along a line of a constrained instanton solution (an approximate solution of the Euclidean equations of motion subject to a constraint) of an $\rm SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs theory to approximate the…

We present a general procedure to construct 6-dimensional manifolds with SU(3)-structure from SU(2)-structure 5-manifolds. We thereby obtain half-flat cylinders and sine-cones over 5-manifolds with Sasaki-Einstein SU(2)-structure. They are…

We study Higgs field configurations of dyonic instantons in spontaneously broken (4+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. The adjoint scalar field solutions to the covariant Laplace equation in the ADHM instanton background are constructed in…

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…
