Special holonomy Donaldson--Thomas instantons
Abstract:
Most of you are familiar with the usual minimizers to the Yang--Mills functional, the anti-self-dual and self-dual connections in dimension four. In the presence of special holonomy in other dimensions, we can also find particular connections, also minimizers of the Yang--Mills functional. Things are not as easy there as in other context. I'll survey what is known.
