The anti-self-duality equations for gauge fields in d = 4 and a generalization of these equations to dimension d = 4n are considered. For gauge fields with values in an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] we introduce the ansatz which reduces the anti-self-duality equations in the Euclidean space ℝ4n to a system of equations breaking up into the well known Nahm's equations and some linear equations for scalar field φ.

Abstract We construct a large class of gauge theories with extended supersymmetry on four-dimensional manifolds with a Killing vector field and isolated fixed points. We extend previous results limited to super Yang-Mills theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 gauge theories including hypermultiplets. We present a general framework encompassing equivariant Donaldson-Witten theory and Pestun’s theory on S4 as two particular cases. This is achieved by expressing fields in cohomological variables, whose features are dictated by supersymmetry and require a generalized notion of self-duality for two-forms and of chirality for spinors. Finally, we implement localization techniques to compute the exact partition function of the cohomological theories we built up and write the explicit result for manifolds with diverse topologies.

A set of conformally covariant dressing transformations is constructed for the supersym-metric N=3 self-duality equations in four dimensions, using the associated covariant linear system. They form a closed, 5+6-index algebra, up to field-dependent gauge transformations, containing the previously known loop algebras as a particular subset. This construction generalizes the formerly built set of conformally covariant DT for ordinary self-dual Yang-Mills.

Let [Formula: see text] be a nonzero complex number which is not a root of unity. Let [Formula: see text] be a compact oriented surface, the [Formula: see text]-skein space of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is the vector space over [Formula: see text] generated by framed oriented links (including framed oriented trivalent graphs in [Formula: see text]) quotient by the [Formula: see text]-skein relations due to Kuperberg [Spiders for rank [Formula: see text] Lie algebra, Comm. Math. Phys. 180(1) (1996) 109–151]. For closed [Formula: see text], with genus greater than [Formula: see text], we construct a local diffeomorphism invariant trace on [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a positive real number not equal to [Formula: see text].

We present a self-contained account of the ideas of R. Penrose connecting four-dimensional Riemannian geometry with three-dimensional complex analysis. In particular we apply this to the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in Euclidean 4-space and compute the number of moduli for any compact gauge group. Results previously announced are treated with full detail and extended in a number of directions.

We present the canonical set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a “self-dual” tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with N=1 supersymmetry in the space-time with signature (+,+, −, −). For this set of constraints, the consistency of the self-duality conditions on these multiplets with supersymmetry is manifest. The energy-momentum tensors of all the self-dual “matter” multiplets vanish, to be consistent with the self-duality of the Riemann tensor. In particular, the special significance of the “self-dual” tensor multiplet is noted. This result fills the gap left over in our previous series of papers, with respect to the consistent couplings among the self-dual matter multiplets. We also couple these nontrivial backgrounds to a Green-Schwarz superstring σ model, under the requirement of invariance under fermionic (kappa) symmetry. The finiteness of the self-dual supergravity is discussed, based on its “off-shell” structure. A set of exact solutions for the “self-dual” tensor and self-dual Yang-Mills multiplets for the gauge group SL(2) on a self-dual gravitational instanton background is given, and its consistency with the Green-Schwarz string σ model is demonstrated.
