Instantons and Quaternions

چکیده
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. Instantons in Yang-Mills theories are defined by the solutions to the self-duality equation in four-dimensional Euclidean space, Fμν = Fμν = 1 2ǫμνρσFρσ , (1) and are characterized by an integer number, the topological charge,

q–Deformed Quaternions and su(2) Instantons
We have recently introduced the notion of a q-quaternion bialgebra and shown its strict link with the SOq(4)-covariant quantum Euclidean space R 4 q. Adopting the available differential geometric tools on the latter and the quaternion language we have formulated and found solutions of the (anti)selfduality equation [instantons and multi-instantons] of a would-be deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory...
متن کاملq-Quaternions and q-deformed su(2) instantons
We construct (anti)instanton solutions of a would-be q-deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on the quantum Euclidean spaceRq [the SOq(4)-covariant noncommutative space] by reinterpreting the function algebra on the latter as a q-quaternion bialgebra. Since the (anti)selfduality equations are covariant under the quantum group of deformed rotations, translations and scale change, by applying the latt...
متن کاملSplit-quaternionic Representation of Sdym Su(1, 1) Instantons in S
Using split-quaternions, we find explicit SDYM SU(1, 1) instanton solutions in S2 −×S 2 + which is the conformal compactification of the semi-Euclidean 4-spacetime R 2+2 of split-signature (−,−,+,+). The noncompact Lie group SU(1, 1) is naturally introduced as an appropriate gauge group for SDYM instantons in S2 −×S 2 +. It is shown that SDYM and ASDYM SU(1, 1) instanton solutions in S2 −×S 2 +...
متن کاملq-Quaternions and deformed su(2) instantons on the quantum Euclidean space R 4 q
We briefly report on our recent results regarding the introduction of a notion of a q-quaternion and the construction of instanton solutions of a would-be deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on the corresponding SOq(4)covariant quantum space. As the solutions depend on some noncommuting parameters, this indicates that the moduli space of a complete theory will be a noncommutative manifold.
متن کاملQ-deformed Su(2) Instantons by Q-quaternions
Interpreting the coordinates of the quantum Euclidean space Rq [the SOq(4)covariant noncommutative space] as the entries of a “q-quaternion matrix” we construct (anti)instanton solutions of a would-be q-deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on Rq. Since the (anti)selfduality equations are covariant under the quantum group of deformed rotations, translations and scale change, by applying the latter w...
