Instantons and Emergent Geometry
Gravity is a mysterious force; we still don’t know what gravity is. But recent developments from string and M theories gradually reveal an intriguing picture on gravity (for recent reviews, see, for example, [1, 2]): Gravity may be a collective phenomenon emergent from gauge fields. That is, the spin-two graviton might arise as a composite of two spin-one gauge bosons. Although the emergent gra...
متن کاملOctonionic Gravitational Instantons
We construct eight-dimensional gravitational instantons by solving appropriate selfduality equations for the spin-connection. The particular gravitational instanton we present has Spin(7) holonomy and, in a sense, it is the eight-dimensional analog of the Eguchi-Hanson 4D space. It has a removable bolt singularity which is topologically S4 and its boundary at infinity is the squashed S7. We als...
متن کاملmulti-centered gravitational instantons
This work presents a classification of all smooth ’t Hooft–Jackiw–Nohl–Rebbi instantons over Gibbons–Hawking spaces. That is, we find all smooth SU(2) Yang–Mills instantons over these spaces which arise by conformal rescalings of the metric with suitable functions. Since the Gibbons–Hawking spaces are hyper-Kähler gravitational instantons, the rescaling functions must be positive harmonic. By u...
متن کاملGravitational Instantons in Ashtekar’s Formalism
Gravitational instantons of Bianchi type IX space are constructed in Ashtekar’s canonical formalism. Instead of solving the self-duality condition, we fully solve the constraint on the “initial surface” and “Hamiltonian equations”. This formallism is applicable to the matter coupled system with cosmological constant.
متن کاملGravitational instantons from gauge theory.
A gauge theory can be formulated on a noncommutative (NC) spacetime. This NC gauge theory has anequivalent dual description through the so-called Seiberg-Witten (SW) map in terms of an ordinary gauge theory on a commutative spacetime. We show that all NC U(1) instantons of Nekrasov-Schwarz type are mapped to asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) gravitational instantons by the exact SW map and...
