From spatially periodic instantons to singular monopoles
نویسنده
چکیده
The main result is a computation of the Nahm transform of a SU(2)-instanton over R× T , called spatially-periodic instanton. It is a singular monopole over T , a solution to the Bogomolny equation, whose rank is computed and behavior at the singular points is described.

Symmetric Calorons
Calorons (periodic instantons) interpolate between monopoles and instantons, and their holonomy gives approximate Skyrmion configurations. We show that, for each caloron charge N ≤ 4, there exists a one-parameter family of calorons which are symmetric under subgroups of the three-dimensional rotation group. In each family, the corresponding symmetric monopoles and symmetric instantons occur as ...
متن کاملF & H Monopoles
Supersymmetric monopoles of the heterotic string theory associated with arbitrary non-negative number of the left moving modes of the string states are presented. They include H monopoles and their T dual partners F monopoles (ALE instantons). Massive F = H monopoles are T self-dual. Solutions include also an infinite tower of generic T duality covariant non-singular in stringy frame F&H monopo...

Fermionic zero modes associated with doubly periodic SU (2) instantons of unit charge are considered. In cases where the action density exhibits two 'instanton cores' the zero mode peaks on one of four line-segments joining the two constituents. Which of the four possibilities is realised depends on the fermionic boundary conditions; doubly periodic, doubly anti-periodic or mixed. In this Lette...

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 کاملLaplacian gauge and instantons
Topological excitations produce obstructions to making the gauge field smooth everywhere. Therefore, they should appear as singularities in an otherwise smooth gauge. This offers the possibility of identifying such excitations via gaugefixing. After gauge-fixing, the gauge field becomes singular, and the gauge ill-defined, on a sub-manifold characterizing the topological excitations. Even thoug...
