CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: The ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons
Simon Donaldson (Stony Brook) Title: The ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons Abstract: In 1978 (Physics Letters 65A) Atiyah, Hitchin, Drinfeld and Manin (ADHM) described a construction of the general solution of the Yang-Mills instanton equations over the 4-sphere using linear algebra. This was a major landmark in the modern interaction between geometry and physics, and the […]
