D-instantons and twistors: some exact results
نویسنده
چکیده
We present some results on instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space in Calabi-Yau compactifications of Type II string theories. Previously, using twistor methods, only a class of D-instantons (D2-instantons wrapping A-cycles) was incorporated exactly and the rest was treated only linearly. We go beyond the linear approximation and give a set of holomorphic functions which, through a known procedure, capture the effect of D-instantons at all orders. Moreover, we show that for a sector where all instanton charges have vanishing symplectic invariant scalar product, the hypermultiplet metric can be computed explicitly.

D-instantons and twistors
Finding the exact, quantum corrected metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space in Type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds is an outstanding open problem. We address this issue by relating the quaternionic-Kähler metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space to the complex contact geometry on its twistor space. In this framework, Euclidean D-brane instantons are captured by contact...
متن کاملv 1 2 7 M ay 1 99 9 Some exact non - vacuum Bianchi VI 0 and VII 0 instantons
We report some new exact instantons in general relativity. These solutions are Kähler and fall into the symmetry classes of Bianchi types VI0 and VII0, with matter content of a stiff fluid. The qualitative behaviour of the solutions is presented, and we compare it to the known results of the corresponding self-dual Bianchi solutions. We also give axisymmetric Bianchi VII0 solutions with an elec...
متن کاملThe Nahm transform for calorons
In this paper, we complete the proof of an equivalence given by Nye and Singer of the equivalence between calorons (instantons on S × R) and solutions to Nahm’s equations over the circle, both satisfying appropriate boundary conditions. Many of the key ingredients are provided by a third way of encoding the same data which involves twistors and complex geometry.

متن کاملDo Instantons of the Cp(n-1) Model Melt?
In the two-dimensional CP N−1 model one can parametrize exact many-instanton solutions via N 'constituents' (called 'zindons'). This parameterization allows, in principle, a complete 'melting' of individual instantons. The model is therefore well suited to study whether dynamics prefers a dilute or a strongly overlapping ensemble of instantons. We study the statistical mechanics of instantons b...
