Abstract

We study analytic aspects of U(n) gauge theory over a toric noncommutative manifold Mθ. We analyse moduli spaces of solutions to the self-dual Yang-Mills equations on U(2) vector bundles over four-manifolds Mθ, showing that each such moduli space is either empty or a smooth Hausdorff manifold whose dimension we explicitly compute. In the special case of the four-sphere S4θ we find that the moduli space of U(2) instantons with fixed second Chern number k is a smooth manifold of dimension 8k-3.
