Asymptotic behaviour and the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons

Asymptotic behaviour and the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons We study doubly-periodic instantons, i.e. instantons on the product of a 1-dimensional complex torus T with a complex line ℂ, with quadratic curvature decay. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new asymptotic invariants. We show that the underlying holomorphic bundle extends to T×ℙ1. The converse statement is also true, namely a holomorphic bundle on T×ℙ1 which is flat on the torus at infinity, and satisfies a stability condition, comes from a doubly-periodic instanton. Finally, we study the hyperkähler geometry of the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons, and prove that the Nahm transform previously defined by the second author is a hyperkähler isometry with the moduli space of certain meromorphic Higgs bundles on the dual torus. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the European Mathematical Society Springer Journals

Abstract

We study doubly-periodic instantons, i.e. instantons on the product of a 1-dimensional complex torus T with a complex line ℂ, with quadratic curvature decay. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new asymptotic invariants. We show that the underlying holomorphic bundle extends to T×ℙ1. The converse statement is also true, namely a holomorphic bundle on T×ℙ1 which is flat on the torus at infinity, and satisfies a stability condition, comes from a doubly-periodic instanton. Finally, we study the hyperkähler geometry of the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons, and prove that the Nahm transform previously defined by the second author is a hyperkähler isometry with the moduli space of certain meromorphic Higgs bundles on the dual torus.
