Multi-Instantons in Higher Dimensions and Superstring Solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct octonionic multi-instantons for the eight and seven dimensional Yang–Mills theory. Extended soliton solutions to the low-energy heterotic field theory equations of motion are constructed from these octonionic multi-instantons. The solitons describe a string in ten-dimensional Minkowski space, and preserve one and two of the sixteen space-time supersymmetries correspondingly.

Solitons and Instantons with(out) Supersymmetry
We give model-independent arguments, valid in nearly any number of spacetime dimensions, that topological solitons and instantons satisfy Bogomol’nyi-type bounds and, when these bounds are saturated, satisfy self-duality equations. In the supersymmetric case, we also show that, in spacetime dimensions greater than two, theories with topological charges necessarily exhibit extended supersymmetry...
متن کاملSupersymmetric String Solitons
These notes are based on lectures given by C. Callan and J. Harvey at the 1991 Trieste Spring School on String Theory and Quantum Gravity. The subject is the construction of supersymmetric soliton solutions to superstring theory. A brief review of solitons and instantons in supersymmetric theories is presented. Yang-Mills instantons are then used to construct soliton solutions to heterotic stri...
متن کاملTASI Lectures on Solitons Lecture 1: Instantons
This is the first in a series of four lectures on the physics of solitons in supersymmetric gauge theories. We start here with Yang-Mills instantons, describing the moduli space of solutions, the ADHM construction, and applications to supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions.
متن کاملThe Partonic Nature of Instantons
In both Yang-Mills theories and sigma models, instantons are endowed with degrees of freedom associated to their scale size and orientation. It has long been conjectured that these degrees of freedom have a dual interpretation as the positions of partonic constituents of the instanton. These conjectures are usually framed in d = 3 + 1 and d = 1 + 1 dimensions respectively where the partons are ...
متن کاملD-branes in Noncommutative Field Theory∗
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory on Moyal spaces are extensively studied. Instantons in Yang-Mills theory on the two-dimensional noncommutative torus and the fuzzy sphere are also constructed...
