On The Instanton Solutions Of The Self - Dual Membrane In Various Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present some methods of determining explicit solutions for self-dual supermembranes in 4 + 1 and 8 + 1 dimensions with spherical or toroidal topology. For configurations of axial symmetry, the continuous SU(∞) Toda equation turns out to play a central role and a specific method of determining all the periodic solutions is suggested. A number of examples is studied in detail.

Multi-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.
متن کاملMulti-instantons in R and Minimal Surfaces in R
It is known that self-duality equations for multi-instantons on a line in four dimensions are equivalent to minimal surface equations in three dimensional Minkowski space. We extend this equivalence beyond the equations of motion and show that topological number, instanton moduli space and anti-self-dual solutions have representations in terms of minimal surfaces. The issue of topological charg...
متن کاملNoncommutative Instantons on R
We study U(1) and U(2) noncommutative instantons on RNC ×RC based on the ADHM construction. It is shown that the instanton solutions are always regular for both self-dual and anti-self-dual gauge fields even though any projected states are not involved in the ADHM construction. Furthermore the instanton number is also an integer. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]....
متن کاملThe Geometry of Self-Dual Gauge Fields
Self-dual 2-forms in D = 2n dimensions are characterised by an eigenvalue criterion. The equivalence of various definitions of selfduality is proven. We show that the self-dual 2-forms determine a n − n + 1 dimensional manifold S2n and the dimension of the maximal linear subspaces of S2n is equal to the Radon-Hurwitz number of linearly independent vector fields on the sphere S. The relation bet...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Solutions to Euclidean Gravity
The discovery of self-dual instanton solutions in Euclidean Yang-Mills theory [I] has recently stimulated a great deal of interest in self-dual solutions to Einstein’s theory of gravitation. One would expect that the relevant instanton-like metrics would be those whose gravitational fields are self-dual, localized in Euclidean spacetime and free of singularities. In fact, solutions have been fo...
