Instanton sums and five-dimensional gauge theories

چکیده
We analyze the vector multiplet prepotential of d = 4, N = 2 type IIA compactifications. We find that the worldsheet instanton corrections have a natural interpretation as one-loop corrections in five dimensions, with the extra dimension being compactified on a circle of radius gsls. We argue that the relation between spacetime and worldsheet instantons is natural from this point of view. We also discuss the map between the type IIA worldsheet instantons and the spacetime instantons in the heterotic dual.

Supersymmetrizing 5d instanton operators
We construct a supersymmetric version of instanton operators in fivedimensional Yang-Mills theories. This is possible by considering a five-dimensional generalization of the familiar four-dimensional topologically twisted theory, where the gauge configurations corresponding to instanton operators are supersymmetric.
متن کاملDyonic Instantons in Five-Dimensional Gauge Theories
We show that there exist finite energy, non-singular instanton solutions for fivedimensional theories with broken gauge symmetry. The soliton is supported against collapse by a non-zero electric charge. The low-energy dynamics of these solutions is described by motion on the ADHM moduli space with potential. Introduction Instantons appear as BPS particle-like configurations in five-dimensional ...
متن کاملM and F-theory Instantons, N = 1 Supersymmetry and Fractional Topological Charge
We analize instanton generated superpotentials for three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories obtained by compactifying on S1 N=1 four dimensinal theories. In the Nf = NC − 1 case, we find that the vacua in the decompactification limit is given by the singular points of the Coulomb branch of the N =2 four dimensional theory. The decompactification limit of the superpotential for pure g...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry in Three - Dimensional Gauge Theories , SL ( 2 , Z ) and D - Brane Moduli Spaces
We construct intersecting D-brane configurations that encode the gauge groups and field content of dual N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. The duality which exchanges the Coulomb and Higgs branches and the Fayet-Iliopoulos and mass parameters is derived from the SL(2, Z) symmetry of the type IIB string. Using the D-brane configurations we construct explicitly this mirror m...
متن کاملLocalization on the D - brane , two - dimensional gauge theory and matrix models
We consider the effective topological field theory on Euclidean D-strings wrapping on a 2cycle in the internal space. We evaluate the vev of a suitable operator corresponding to the chemical potential of vortices bounded to the D-strings, and find that it reduces to the partition function of generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory as a result of localization. We argue that the partition f...
