Torons and D-Brane Bound States
Z. Guralnik, S. Ramgoolam
Abstract
We interpret instantons on a torus with twisted boundary conditions, in terms of bound states of branes. The interplay between the SU(N) and U(1) parts of the U(N) theory of N 4-branes allows the construction of a variety of bound states. The SU(N) and U(1) parts can contribute fractional amounts to the total instanton number which is integral. The geometry of non-self intersecting two-cycles in T4 sheds some light on a number of properties of these solutions.
