Multi-instantons in seven dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Multi-Instantons in Higher Dimensions and Superstring Solitons
We construct octonionic multi-instantons for the eight and seven dimensional Yang–Mills theory. Extended soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic field theory equations of motion are constructed from these octonionic multi-instantons. The solitons describe a string in ten-dimensional Minkowski space, and preserve one and two of the sixteen space-time supersymmetries correspondingly.
متن کاملOn R 4 threshold corrections in IIB string theory and ( p , q ) string
4 threshold corrections in IIB string theory and (p,q) string instantons. ABSTRACT We obtain the full non-perturbative thresholds of R 4 terms in IIB string theory compactified to eight and seven dimensions. They are given by the perturbative results plus a sum over D-instantons and (p,q) string instantons. The thresholds are shown to be U-duality invariant. They are given by a weight-3/2 non h...
متن کاملThe Partonic Nature of Instantons
In both Yang-Mills theories and sigma models, instantons are endowed with degrees of freedom associated to their scale size and orientation. It has long been conjectured that these degrees of freedom have a dual interpretation as the positions of partonic constituents of the instanton. These conjectures are usually framed in d = 3 + 1 and d = 1 + 1 dimensions respectively where the partons are ...
متن کاملD-brane Instantons in Type II String Theory
We review recent progress in determining the effects of D-brane instantons inN = 1 supersymmetric compactifications of Type II string theory to four dimensions. We describe the abstract D-brane instanton calculus for holomorphic couplings such as the superpotential, the gauge kinetic function and higher fermionic F-terms. This includes a discussion of multi-instanton effects and the implication...
متن کاملIght - D Imensional S Elf - D Ual S Paces ⋆
We discuss higher-dimensional gravitational instantons by studying appropriate self-duality equations for the spin connection. In seven and in eight dimensions, the corresponding spaces admit a covariantly constant spinor and, consequently, have holonomies in G 2 and Spin(7), respectively. We find a non-compact solution to the self-duality equations in eight dimensions in which the self-dual sp...
