A gauge theory analog of some "stringy" D-instantons
arXiv:0803.2829 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.066004
Abstract
We argue that one can see a specific class of "stringy" D-instantons in the underlying 4D gauge theory as the UV completion of an ordinary gauge instanton of a completely broken gauge group corresponding to the "empty" cycle the D-instanton is located on. In this sense, the D-instanton induced non-perturbative superpotential can be qualitatively inferred directly from pure field-theory considerations.
