Instantons, the Information Metric, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Matthias Blau, K. S. Narain, George Thompson
We describe some remarkable properties of the so-called Information Metric on instanton moduli space. This Metric is manifestly gauge and conformally invariant and coincides with t…

On the Relationship between the Rozansky-Witten and the 3-Dimensional Seiberg-Witten Invariants
Matthias Blau, George Thompson
The Seiberg-Witten analysis of the low-energy effective action of d=4 N=2 SYM theories reveals the relation between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten (SW) monopole invariants. Here…

Lectures on 2d Gauge Theories: Topological Aspects and Path Integral Techniques
Matthias Blau, George Thompson
These are lecture notes of lectures presented at the 1993 Trieste Summer School, dealing with two classes of two-dimensional field theories, (topological) Yang-Mills theory and the…
