The Calculus of Many Instantons
Nick Dorey, Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze +1
We describe the modern formalism, ideas and applications of the instanton calculus for gauge theories with, and without, supersymmetry. Particular emphasis is put on developing a f…
Instantons in N=4 Sp(N) and SO(N) theories and the AdS/CFT correspondence
Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze, Michael P. Mattis
Following work on theories with SU(N) gauge groups, we perform a large-N saddle-point approximation of the measure for ADHM multi-instantons in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories wi…
Summing the Instanton Series in N=2 Superconformal Large-N QCD
Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze, Michael P. Mattis
We consider the multi-instanton collective coordinate integration measure in N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory with N_F fundamental hypermultiplets. In the large-N limit, at th…
Gluino Condensate and Magnetic Monopoles in Supersymmetric Gluodynamics
N. Michael Davies, Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze +1
We examine supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories on R^3*S^1 with a circle of circumference beta. These theories interpolate between four-dimensional N=1 pure gauge theory for beta=in…
Multi-Instanton Calculus and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in N=4 Superconformal Field Theory
N. Dorey, T. J. Hollowood, V. V. Khoze +2
We present a self-contained study of ADHM multi-instantons in SU(N) gauge theory, especially the novel interplay with supersymmetry and the large-N limit. We give both field- and s…
Yang-Mills Instantons in the Large-N Limit and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
N. Dorey, V. V. Khoze, M. P. Mattis +1
We examine a certain 16-fermion correlator in {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory in 4 dimensions. Generalizing recent SU(2) results of Bianchi, Green, Kovacs and Rossi, w…
