Generalized ADHM equations from marginal deformations in open superstring field theory

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Working within the framework of both the Ainfty and the Berkovits open superstring field theory, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a Neveu-Schwarz marginal deformation to be exact up to third order in the deformation parameter. For a specific class of backgrounds, we find that this condition localizes on the boundary of the worldsheet moduli space, thus providing a very simple computational prescription for recovering algebraic constraints (generalized ADHM equations) which need to be satisfied by the moduli. Applying our results to the mathrmD(−1)/D3 system, we confirm up to third order that blowing up the size of the D-instanton inside the D3 brane worldvolume is an exact modulus of the full string theory. We also discuss examples of more complicated backgrounds, such as instantons on unresolved ALE spaces, as well as the spiked instantons.
