BPS Bounds for Worldvolume Branes

Jerome P. Gauntlett, Joaquim Gomis, Paul K. Townsend

The worldvolume field equations of M-branes and D-branes are known to admit p-brane soliton solutions. These solitons are shown to saturate a BPS-type bound on their p-volume tensi…

Gauge theory and the division algebras

JM Figueroa-O'Farrill

We present a novel formulation of the instanton equations in 8-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This formulation reveals these equations as the last member of a series of gauge-theor…

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, octonionic instantons and triholomorphic curves

JM Figueroa-O'Farrill, C Koehl, B Spence

In four-dimensional gauge theory there exists a well-known correspondence between instantons and holomorphic curves, and a similar correspondence exists between certain octonionic…
