ABSTRACT We find regular solutions of the four dimensional euclidean Yang-Mills equations. The solutions minimize locally the action integrals which is finite in this case. The topological nature of the solutions is discussed.

    Article: Comments on Baryons in Holographic QCD
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We generalize the description of baryons as instantons of Sakai-Sugimoto model to the case where the flavor branes are non-anti-podal. The later corresponds to quarks with a "string endpoint mass". We show that the baryon vertex is located on the flavor branes and hence the generalized baryons also associate with instantons. We calculate the baryon mass spectra, the isoscalar and axial mean square radii, the isoscalar and isovector magnetic moments and the axial coupling as a function of the mass scale M_{KK} and the location \zeta of the tip of U-shaped flavor D8-branes. We determine the values of M_{KK} and \zeta from a best fit comparison with the experimental data. The later comes out to be in a forbidden region, which may indicate that the incorporation of baryons in Sakai-Sugimoto model has to be modified. We discuss the analogous baryons in a non-critical gravity model. A brief comment on the single flavor case (N_f=1) is also made.

    Article: Differential and Twistor Geometry of the Quantum Hopf Fibration
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We study a quantum version of the SU(2) Hopf fibration $S^7 \to S^4$ and its associated twistor geometry. Our quantum sphere $S^7_q$ arises as the unit sphere inside a q-deformed quaternion space $\mathbb{H}^2_q$. The resulting four-sphere $S^4_q$ is a quantum analogue of the quaternionic projective space $\mathbb{HP}^1$. The quantum fibration is endowed with compatible non-universal differential calculi. By investigating the quantum symmetries of the fibration, we obtain the geometry of the corresponding twistor space $\mathbb{CP}^3_q$ and use it to study a system of anti-self-duality equations on $S^4_q$, for which we find an `instanton' solution coming from the natural projection defining the tautological bundle over $S^4_q$.

    Article: Classical paths for Yang-Mills field with fixed energy
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: A new classical solution for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, in which the Euclidean energy plays a role of a parameter is found. A correspondence between this solution and the known selfdual multi-instanton configuration, which has the topological charge N, is discussed, the number of parameters governing the new solution is found to be 8N+1. For negative energies the new solution is periodic in Euclidean time, for positive energies it exhibits the effect of localization, which states that the solution is completely described within a finite interval of time, for zero energy the found solution is reduced to a selfdual one.
