Skyrme Crystal from a Twisted Instanton on a Four-Torus
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe how an approximation to the minimal energy Skyrme crystal can be obtained from the holonomy of a Yang-Mills instanton. The appropriate instanton is twisted on a four-torus and has instanton number equal to one half. It generates a Skyrme field with the correct topological and symmetry properties of the crystal. An explicit solution for the instanton is not known, but an analytical fit to numerical data is available and using this we obtain a Skyrme crystal whose energy is only 2% above that of the (numerically) known solution. email [email protected] email [email protected]

Kink Chains from Instantons on a Torus
We describe how the procedure of calculating approximate solitons from instanton holonomies may be extended to the case of soliton crystals. It is shown how sine-Gordon kink chains may be obtained from CIP1 instantons on T 2. These kink chains turn out to be remarkably accurate approximations to the true solutions. Some remarks on the relevance of this work to Skyrme crystals are also made.
متن کاملNumerical analysis of fractional charge solutions on the torus
We study by numerical methods a particular kind of SU(N) Yang-Mills solutions of the Euclidean equations of motion which appear on the torus when twisted boundary conditions are imposed. These are instanton-like configurations with the peculiarity of having fractional topological charge. We focus on those solutions with minimal non-trivial action S = 8π/N and extract their properties in a few d...
متن کاملDoubly Periodic Instantons and Their Constituents
Using the Nahm transform we investigate doubly periodic charge one SU (2) in-stantons with radial symmetry. Two special points where the Nahm zero modes have softer singularities are identified as the locations of instanton core constituents. For a square torus this constituent picture is closely reflected in the action density. In rectangular tori with large aspect ratios the cores merge to fo...
متن کاملTorons and D - brane bound states
We interpret instantons on a torus with twisted boundary conditions, in terms of bound states of branes. The interplay between the SU (N) and U (1) parts of the U (N) theory of N 4-branes allows the construction of a variety of bound states. The SU (N) and U (1) parts can contribute fractional amounts to the total instanton number which is integral.
متن کاملInstanton effects in N = 1 brane models and the Kähler metric of twisted matter
We consider locally consistent systems of magnetized D9 branes on an orbifolded six-torus which support N = 1 gauge theories. In such realizations, the matter multiplets arise from “twisted” strings connecting different stacks of branes. The introduction of Euclidean 5 branes (E5) wrapped on the six-dimensional compact space leads to instanton effects. For instance, if the system is engineered ...
