We determine the asymptotic behaviour of these instantons, constructing new asymptotic invariants. We show that the underlying holomorphic bundle extends to TxP1. The converse statement is also true, namely a holomorphic bundle on TxP1 which is flat on the torus at infinity, and satisfies a stability condition, comes from a doubly-periodic instanton. Finally, we study the hyperkahler geometry of the moduli space of doubly-periodic instantons, and prove that the Nahm transform previously defined by the second author is a hyperkahler isometry with the moduli space of certain meromorphic Higgs bundles on the dual torus.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-05-16T13:51:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "moduli space", "asymptotic behaviour", "quadratic curvature decay", "underlying holomorphic bundle extends", "study doubly-periodic instantons" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 527444, "adsabs": "2000math......5154B" } } }
