ADHM instantons and the Gauss-Bonnet integral on non-compact hyper-Kahler manifolds
The main intention of this thesis is to calculate the Gauss-Bonnet integral on the moduli space of Yang-Mills instantons and in particular to test a conjecture of Dorey, Hollowood and Khoze which relates the D-instanton partition function (a quantity arising from string-theoretic considerations), an...
