Instanton Moduli and Topological Soliton Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been proposed by Atiyah and Manton [1] that the dynamics of Skyrmions in IR may be approximated by motion on a finite dimensional manifold obtained from the moduli space of SU(2) Yang-Mills instantons in IR. Motivated by this work we describe how similar results exist for other soliton and instanton systems. We describe in detail two examples for the approximation of the infinite dimensional dynamics of sine-Gordon solitons in IR by finite dimensional dynamics on a manifold obtained from instanton moduli. In the first example we use the moduli space of CIP 1 instantons in IR and in the second example we use the moduli space of SU(2) Yang-Mills instantons in IR. The metric and potential functions on these manifolds are constructed and the resulting dynamics is compared with the explicit exact soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon theory.

Topological Solitons and their Moduli Spaces
Description of the research: Topological solitons are smooth, localised, finite energy solutions in non-linear field theories. The soliton number is conserved due to a topological constraint, such as a winding number or a non-trivial Chern class. Originally motivated from physics, these solitons give rise to interesting mathematical objects which can be studied using differential geometry and a...
متن کاملDyonic Instantons in Five-Dimensional Gauge Theories
We show that there exist finite energy, non-singular instanton solutions for fivedimensional theories with broken gauge symmetry. The soliton is supported against collapse by a non-zero electric charge. The low-energy dynamics of these solutions is described by motion on the ADHM moduli space with potential. Introduction Instantons appear as BPS particle-like configurations in five-dimensional ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Moduli for Multi-Instantons
There exists a recursive algorithm for constructing BPST-type multi-instantons on commutative R. When deformed noncommutatively, however, it becomes difficult to write down non-singular instanton configurations with topological charge greater than one in explicit form. We circumvent this difficulty by allowing for the translational instanton moduli to become noncommutative as well. This makes p...
متن کاملInstantons in the Higgs Phase
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 solve the hypermultiplet BPS equation and show that all 1/4 BPS solutions are generated by an NC × NF matrix which is holomorphic in two complex variables, ass...
متن کاملInformation metric on instanton moduli spaces in nonlinear σ models
We study the information metric on instanton moduli spaces in two-dimensional nonlinear σ models. In the CP 1 model, the information metric on the moduli space of one instanton with the topological charge Q = k (k ≥ 1) is a three-dimensional hyperbolic metric, which corresponds to Euclidean anti–de Sitter space-time metric in three dimensions, and the overall scale factor of the information met...
