Instantons and the monopole-like equations in eight dimensions
We search for an abelian description of the Yang-Mills instantons on certain eight dimensioanl manifolds with the special holonomies Spin(7) and SU(4). By mimicing the Seiberg-Witten theory in four dimensions, we propose a set of monopole-like equations governing the 8-dimensional U(1) connections and spinors, which are supposed to be the dual theory of the nonabelian instantons. We also give a...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopole Content of Hot Instantons
Although many qualitative features of QCD are well described by a vacuum state dominated by an instanton “liquid’, confinement appears to be an exception [1]. Instead, magnetic monopoles are thought to be the crucial ingredient. This raises the question of how magnetic degrees of freedom can be incorporated into (or reconciled with) an instanton “liquid”. A recent step in this direction was tak...
متن کاملPu(n) Monopoles, Higher Rank Instantons, and the Monopole Invariants
A famous conjecture in gauge theory mathematics, attributed to Witten, suggests that the polynomial invariants of Donaldson are expressible in terms of the Seiberg-Witten invariants if the underlying four-manifold is of simple type. Mathematicians have sought a proof of the conjecture by means of a ‘cobordism program’ involving PU(2) monopoles. A higher rank version of the Donaldson invariants ...
متن کاملMulti-instantons in seven dimensions
We consider the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in seven dimensions. Modifying the t’Hooft construction of instantons in d = 4, we find N -instanton 7d solutions which depend on 8N effective parameters and are E6-invariant.
متن کاملFreckled Instantons in Two and Four Dimensions
Field theory with instantons can be partially regularized by adding degrees of freedom at some scale. These extra degrees of freedom lead to the appearence of the new topological defects. These defects which we call freckles have some characteristic size depending on the scale at which the extra degrees of freedom revive. The examples of two dimensional sigma model, four dimensional gauge theor...
