Harmonic Space Construction of the Quaternionic Taub-NUT metric
We present details of the harmonic space construction of a quaternionic extension of the four-dimensional Taub-NUT metric. As the main merit of the harmonic space approach, the metric is obtained in an explicit form following a generic set of rules. It exhibits SU(2) × U(1) isometry group and depends on two parameters, TaubNUT ‘mass’ and the cosmological constant. We consider several limiting c...
متن کاملGeometric construction of new Taub-NUT instantons
In this paper we exhibit a one-parameter family of new Taub-NUT instantons via connecting the two previously known SU(2) Yang–Mills instantons of unit charge on TaubNUT space by a half-line. The endpoint of the half-line will be the reducible Yang–Mills instanton corresponding to the Eguchi–Hanson–Gibbons L2 harmonic 2-form, while at an inner point we recover the Pope–Yuille instanton construct...
متن کاملSpinning Particles in Taub-nut Space
The geodesic motion of pseudo-classical spinning particles in Euclidean Taub-NUT space is analysed. The constants of motion are expressed in terms of Killing-Yano tensors. Some previous results from the literature are corrected. PACS number(s): 04.20.Jb, 02.40.-K The con guration space of spinning particles (spinning space) is an supersymmetric extension of an ordinary Riemannian manifold, para...
متن کاملIs the Taub-NUT Metric a Gravitational Instanton ?
Hawking has suggested that the Taub-NTIT metric might give rise to the gravitational analog of the Yang-"fills pseudoparticle or instanton. We extend Hawking's treatment by using the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for manifolds with boundaries and reach somewhat different conclusions regarding the nature of the bound states of the Dirac equation. In particular, the Taub-VTT metric does not ...
متن کاملHarmonic functions and instanton moduli spaces on the multi-Taub–NUT space
Explicit construction of the basic SU(2) anti-instantons over the multi-Taub–NUT geometry via the classical conformal rescaling method is exhibited. These anti-instantons satisfiy the so-called weak holonomy condition at infinity with respect to the trivial flat connection and decay rapidly. The resulting unital energy anti-instantons have trivial holonomy at infinity. We also fully describe th...
