Hermitian Yang-Mills instantons on resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones
arXiv:1009.0526 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2011)054
Abstract
We study the construction of Hermitian Yang-Mills instantons over resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones of arbitrary dimension. In particular, in d complex dimensions, we present an infinite family, parametrised by an integer k and a continuous modulus, of SU(d) instantons. A detailed study of their properties, including the computation of the instanton numbers is provided. We also explain how they can be used in the construction of heterotic non-Kahler compactifications.
