Abstract

There exists a recursive algorithm for constructing BPST-type multi-instantons on commutative ℝ4. When deformed noncommutatively, however, it becomes difficult to write down non-singular instanton configurations with topological charge greater than one in explicit form. We circumvent this difficulty by allowing for the translational instanton moduli to become noncommutative as well. Such a scenario is natural in the self-dual Yang-Mills hierarchy of integrable equations where the moduli of solutions are seen as extended spacetime coordinates associated with higher flows. By judicious adjustment of the moduli-noncommutativity we achieve the ADHM construction of generalized 't Hooft multi-instanton solutions with everywhere self-dual field strengths on noncommutative ℝ4.
