We prove that self-dual gauge fields in type I superstring theory are equivalent to configurations of Dirichlet 5-branes, by showing that the world-sheet theory of a Dirichlet 1-brane moving in a background of 5-branes includes an ``ADHM sigma model.'' This provides an explicit construction of the equivalent self-dual gauge field. We also discuss type II.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A fractional SU(N) instanton of charge r/N, embedded with U(1) fluxes, has a Nahm dual that is an SU(Nhat) fractional instanton of charge r/Nhat, with Nhat = N q1 q3 - r q3 + q1.

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Two new classes of AdS3 x S2 solutions in massive IIA with small N=(4,0) supersymmetry are derived, along with their T-dual IIB counterparts.

  3. D-branes and fractional instantons on a twisted four torus: the moduli space as an N=2 supersymmetric Higgs branch

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The local moduli space of self-dual fractional instantons (Q = r/N) on a twisted four-torus is the Higgs branch of an N=2 supersymmetric theory, obtained via wrapped intersecting D-brane configurations.
