Monopoles and instantons in string theory.

چکیده
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-dimensional spherical symmetry represent magnetic monopole-type solutions. For both of these classes, we discuss bosonic as well as heterotic solutions.

Instantons, 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 کاملF & H Monopoles
Supersymmetric monopoles of the heterotic string theory associated with arbitrary non-negative number of the left moving modes of the string states are presented. They include H monopoles and their T dual partners F monopoles (ALE instantons). Massive F = H monopoles are T self-dual. Solutions include also an infinite tower of generic T duality covariant non-singular in stringy frame F&H monopo...
متن کاملS-duality in Hyperkähler Hodge Theory
Here we survey questions and results on the Hodge theory of hyperkähler quotients, motivated by certain S-duality considerations in string theory. The problems include L2 harmonic forms, Betti numbers and mixed Hodge structures on the moduli spaces of Yang-Mills instantons on ALE gravitational instantons, magnetic monopoles on R3 and Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface. Several of these spaces a...

We investigate the confinement properties in the multi-instanton system, where the size distribution is assumed to be ρ −5 for the large instanton size ρ. We find that the instanton vacuum gives the area law behavior of the Wilson loop, which indicates existence of the linear confining potential. In the multi-instanton system, the string tension increases monotonously with the instanton density...
متن کاملHow to Find H-Monopoles in Brane Dynamics
We prove in two different ways that brane dynamics gives rise to all H-monopoles predicted by S-duality of N=4, 4-dimensional superstring compactifications. One method uses heterotic-type II duality and the self-dual 3-brane dynamics, the other uses the 5-brane description of small instantons in SO(32) superstrings.
