Deconstructing Monopoles and Instantons
We give a unifying description of the Dirac monopole on the 2-sphere S2, of a graded monopole on a (2, 2)-supersphere S2,2 and of the BPST instanton on the 4-sphere S4, by constructing a suitable global projector p via equivariant maps. This projector determines the projective module of finite type of sections of the corresponding vector bundle. The canonical connection ∇ = p◦d is used to compu...
متن کاملHyperbolic calorons, monopoles, and instantons
We construct families of SO(3)-symmetric charge 1 instantons and calorons on the space H × R. We show how the calorons include instantons and hyperbolic monopoles as limiting cases. We show how Euclidean calorons are the flat space limit of this family.
متن کاملInstantons, Monopoles, Vortices and Kinks
These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections, each dealing with a different soliton. We start with instantons and work down in co-dimension to monopoles, vortices and, eventually, domain walls. Emphasis is placed on the moduli space of solitons and, in particu...
متن کاملInstantons and Monopoles in General Abelian Gauges
A relation between the total instanton number and the quantum-numbers of magnetic monopoles that arise in general Abelian gauges in SU(2) YangMills theory is established. The instanton number is expressed as the sum of the ‘twists’ of all monopoles, where the twist is related to a generalized Hopf invariant. The origin of a stronger relation between instantons and monopoles in the Polyakov gaug...
متن کاملMonopoles and instantons in string theory.
In recent work, several classes of solitonic solutions of string theory with highermembrane structure have been obtained. These solutions can be classified according to the symmetry possessed by the solitons in the subspace of the spacetime transverse to the membrane. Solitons with four-dimensional spherical symmetry represent instanton solutions in string theory, while those with three-dimensi...
