Hermitian Yang-Mills instantons on resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones (1009.0526v2)
Published 2 Sep 2010 in hep-th
Abstract: We study the construction of Hermitian Yang-Mills instantons over resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones of arbitrary dimension. In particular, in d complex dimensions, we present an infinite family, parametrised by an integer k and a continuous modulus, of SU(d) instantons. A detailed study of their properties, including the computation of the instanton numbers is provided. We also explain how they can be used in the construction of heterotic non-Kahler compactifications.
