Local ADHM construction and holomorphic local vector bundles on the twistor space (Q1377235)

Using the twistor fibration \(\pi:\mathbb {CP}^3\mapsto S^4\), solutions to the anti-self-dual equations on \(S^4\) (i.e. instantons) are identified with certain rank 2 holomorphic bundles on \(\mathbb {CP}^3\). In particular, they correspond to the holomorphic bundles which have trivial restriction to all projective lines and which carry a certain real structure. The ADHM construction shows how to construct such bundles as monads, i.e. as the cohomology of a sequence \[ \mathbf A@ >{\alpha}>> \mathbf B@>{\beta}>> \mathbf C \] in which \(\mathbf{A,B,C}\) are trivial vector bundles on \(\mathbb {CP}^3\) with fibers \(A,B,C\) respectively, and the maps are such that \(\alpha\) is injective and \(\beta\) is surjective. The vector spaces \(A,B,C\) can be identified as sheaf cohomology groups for bundles on \(\mathbb {CP}^3\) and are thus finite dimensional. In this paper, Guha extends these ideas to give a monad description of holomorphic bundles defined only locally on a neighborhood of a line in \(\mathbb {CP}^3\). In this case the base of the manifold is Stein (i.e. not compact), and the vector spaces in the monad are no longer finite-dimensional. The author shows how they can be identified as the solution space for Dirac equations, and relates the resulting monads to solutions of certain dimensional reductions of the anti-self-dual equations.
