Adopting a simple two-dimensional rectangular lattice, we obtain a discrete energy E^{disc.} and a discrete area \cal{A}(f)^{disc.}, where a function f is related to a stereographic projection governed by a unit vector {\boldmath n} of the model. Both discrete energy and area satisfy the inequality E^{disc.} \ge |\cal{A}(f)^{disc.}|, which is saturated if and only if the function f is discrete (anti-)holomorphic. The vector {\boldmath n} parametrizing the function describes classical discrete (anti-)instanton solutions on the lattice. Two discrete instanton solutions are illustrated, which are derived from polynomials up to degree two in z. Except for a factor 2, the discrete energy and the area tend to the usual continuous energy E and the area \cal{A}(f)=4 \pi q, q \in \pi_2(S^2), respectively, as the lattice spacings tend to zero.

Research paper thumbnail of The electrically charged BTZ black hole with self (anti-self) dual Maxwell field

This solution describes an electrically charged extreme black hole with mass M = 8πGQ 2 e , angular momentum J = ±8πGQ 2 e /|Λ| 1/2 and electric charge Q e. Although the coordinate components of the electric field E r and the magnetic field B have singularities on the horizon at r = (4πGQ 2 e /|Λ|) 1/2 , the spacetime has the same value of constant negative curvature R = 6Λ as that of Bañados et al.

In a coordinate condition there appears a logarithmic divergence in the angular momentum at spatial infinity. We show how it is to be regularized by taking the contribution from the boundary into account. We show another coordinate condition which leads to a finite angular momentum though it brings about a peculiar spacetime topology.

This conjecture is supported by many concrete examples, e.g., the Nahm equations. In this work, we consider a situation that if the ASD conditions are slightly loosened, as to how it affects the integrability of the equations. For this purpose, we consider a q-analog of the Nahm equations, as a non-ASD system. The analysis is performed on the reduced system which is a q-analog of the Euler-Arnold top, by the singularity confinement test and the estimation of the algebraic entropy.

In the case of the extension with the half-order pseudo-differential operators, a system analogous to the supersymmetric extensions of the KP hierarchy is obtained. Unlike the supersymmetric extensions, no Grassmannian variable appears in the hierarchy considered here. More general hierarchies constructed by the 1/N-th order pseudo-differential operators, their integrability and the reduction procedure are also investigated. In addition to finding out the new extensions of the KP hierarchy, brief introduction to the Riemann-Liouville integral is provided to yield a candidate for the fractional order pseudo-differential operators.

This l 2 formulation can be seen as a q-analog of Nahm's monopole construction, so that the configuration approaches the BPS monopole at q → 1 limit.

The circular symmetry and the equation \bar{D}\phi=0 yield onstant, generally nonzero, vacuum expectation values for {\rm Tr}(\phi^{2}). The equation 4F_{z\bar{z}}=[\phi, \phi^{*}] yields a system of differential equations which govern the circularly symmetric field configurations and an exact solution to these equations in a pure gauge form with nontrivial Higgs scalar is obtained.

B463 257), the authors presented a q-analog of the ADHMN construction and obtained a family of anti-selfdual configurations with a parameter q for classical SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space. The family of solutions can be seen as a q-analog of the single BPS monopole preserving (anti-)selfduality. Further discussion is made on the relation to axisymmetric ansatz on anti-selfdual equation given by Witten in the late seventies. It is found that the q-exponential functions familiar in q-analysis appear as analytic functions categorizing the anti-selfdual configurations yielded by axisymmetric ansatz.
