On the ADHM construction of noncommutative U(2) k-instanton

Abstract

The basic objects of the ADHM construction are reformulated in terms of elements of the $A_{\theta }(R^4)$ algebra of the noncommutative $R_{\theta }^4$ space. This new formulation of the ADHM construction makes possible the explicit calculus of the U(2) instanton number which is shown to be the product of a trace of finite rank projector of the Fock representation space of the algebra $A_{\theta }(R^4)$ times a noncommutative version of the winding number.
