Curvature Grafted by Instantons
arXiv:2010.12646 · doi:10.1007/s12648-021-02125-x
Abstract
We show that an instanton with high charge can provoke the creation of extra curvature on the space that holds it. Geometrically, this corresponds to a new surgery operation, which we name grafting. Curvature around a sphere increases by grafting when the charge of an instanton decays.
