Exact construction of noncommutative instantons

Abstract

We discuss the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin (ADHM) construction of U(N) instantons in noncommutative (NC) space and give some exact instanton solutions for various noncommutative settings. We also present a new formula which is crucial to show an origin of the instanton number for U(1) and to prove the one-to-one correspondence between moduli spaces of the noncommutative instantons and the ADHM data.
