Freckled Instantons in Two and Four Dimensions
Field theory with instantons can be partially regularized by adding degrees of freedom at some scale. These extra degrees of freedom lead to the appearence of the new topological defects. These defects which we call freckles have some characteristic size depending on the scale at which the extra degrees of freedom revive. The examples of two dimensional sigma model, four dimensional gauge theor...

Generalized Weierstrass formulae for surfaces in four-dimensional space R 4 are used to study (anti)self-dual rigid string configurations. It is shown that such configurations are given by superminimal immersions into R 4. Explicit formulae for generic (anti)instantons are presented. Particular classes of surfaces are also analyzed. String theory based on the combined Nambu-Goto-Polyakov action...
متن کاملOn Spherically Symmetric String Solutions in Four Dimensions
We reconsider here the problem of finding the general 4D spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat and time-independent solutions to the lowest-order string equations in the α expansion. Our construction includes earlier work, but differs from it in three ways. (1) We work with general background metric, dilaton, axion and U(1) gauge fields. (2) Much of the original solutions were required to ...
متن کاملSmall Instantons in String Theory
A long-standing puzzle about the heterotic string has been what happens when an instanton shrinks to zero size. It is argued here that the answer at the quantum level is that an extra SU(2) gauge symmetry appears that is supported in the core of the instanton. Thus in particular the quantum heterotic string has vacua with higher rank than is possible in conformal field theory. When k instantons...
متن کاملMulti-instantons in seven dimensions
We consider the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in seven dimensions. Modifying the t’Hooft construction of instantons in d = 4, we find N -instanton 7d solutions which depend on 8N effective parameters and are E6-invariant.
