Abstract: This is the first in a series of four lectures on the physics of solitons in su- persymmetric gauge theories. We start here with Yang-Mills instantons ...

David Tong: TASI Lectures on Solitons. These lectures were given at the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute, University of Colorado, Boulder in June 2005.

14 мая 2009 г. · We conjecture that partons inside Yang-Mills instantons hold the key to understanding the ultra-violet completion of five-dimensional gauge theories.

12 окт. 1997 г. · Abstract: We calculate instanton corrections to three dimensional gauge theories with N=4 and N=8 supersymmetry and SU(n) gauge groups.

We examine worldsheet instantons in these theories through the eyes of a D-brane construction. The effective instanton partition function is shown to reveal an ...

In both Yang-Mills theories and sigma models, instantons are endowed with degrees of freedom associated to their scale size and orientation.

We calculate instanton corrections to three dimensional gauge theories with N=4 and N=8 supersymmetry and SU(n) gauge groups.

We revisit the well-studied D0-D4 system of D-branes and its relationship to the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin (ADHM) construction.

Title, Instantons, Monopoles, and Three Dimensional Gauge Theories. Author, David Tong. Publisher, University of Wales Swansea, 1998.

In five spacetime dimensions, instantons are finite energy, solitonic particles. We describe the dynamics of these objects in the presence of a Chern-Simons ...
