Abstract

In this paper, which is written at an elementary and pedagogical level, we discuss general aspects of (single) instantons in SU ( N ) Yang-Mills theory, and then specialize to the case of = 4 supersymmetry and the large- N limit. We show how to determine the measure of collective coordinates and compute instanton corrections to certain correlation functions. We then relate this to D -instantons in type IIB supergravity. By taking the D -instantons to live in an AdS 5 × S 5 background, we perform explicit checks of the AdS-CFT correspondence.
