Quantized rotating Taub-bolt instantons

Publication date 14 July 2014

Abstract: We argue that previously suggested metrics for rotating Taub-bolt instantons do not satisfy all the necessary regularity conditions, and we present a family of new regular rotating Taub-bolts labelled by an odd integer

k

. There are two types of rotating bolt solutions. The first infinite sequence starts with non-rotating Taub-NUT with positive mass

M_{k} = N

for

a = 0

and goes to

(k - 2) N

for

| a | o i n f t y

(or

N

for

k = 1

), where

a

is the rotation parameter. For the second sequence of rotating Page bolts, the masses

M_{k}

go through the value

M_{k} = 5 N / 4

for

a = 0

and asymptote to

(k + 2) N

for

| a | o i n f t y

.
