Sako, Akifumi Noncommutative deformation of instantons and vortexes. (English) Zbl 1171.81410 J. Geom. Symmetry Phys. 14, 85-96 (2009). Summary: We study noncommutative (NC) instantons and vortexes. At first, we construct instanton solutions which are deformations of instanton solutions on commutative Euclidean four-space. We show that the instanton numbers of these NC instanton solutions coincide with the commutative solutions. Next, we also deform vortex solutions similarly and we show that their vortex numbers are unchanged under the NC deformation.
