abstract

Gieseker-Nakajima moduli spaces $M_{k}(n)$ parametrize the charge $k$ noncommutative $U(n)$ instantons on ${\bf R}^{4}$ and framed rank $n$ torsion free sheaves $\mathcal{E}$ on ${\bf C\bf P}^{2}$ with ${\rm ch}_{2}({\mathcal{E}}) = k$. They also serve as local models of the moduli spaces of instantons on general four-manifolds. We study the generalization of gauge theory in which the four dimensional spacetime is a stratified space $X$ immersed into a Calabi-Yau fourfold $Z$. The local model ${\bf M}_{k}({\vec n})$ of the corresponding instanton moduli space is the moduli space of charge $k$ (noncommutative) instantons on origami spacetimes. There, $X$ is modelled on a union of (up to six) coordinate complex planes ${\bf C}^{2}$ intersecting in $Z$ modelled on ${\bf C}^{4}$. The instantons are shared by the collection of four dimensional gauge theories sewn along two dimensional defect surfaces and defect points. We also define several quiver versions ${\bf M}_{\bf k}^{\gamma}({\vec{\bf n}})$ of ${\bf M}_{k}({\vec n})$, motivated by the considerations of sewn gauge theories on orbifolds ${\bf C}^{4}/{\Gamma}$. The geometry of the spaces ${\bf M}_{\bf k}^{\gamma}({\vec{\bf n}})$, more specifically the compactness of the set of torus-fixed points, for various tori, underlies the non-perturbative Dyson-Schwinger identities recently found to be satisfied by the correlation functions of $qq$-characters viewed as local gauge invariant operators in the ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ quiver gauge theories. The cohomological and K-theoretic operations defined using ${\bf M}_{k}({\vec n})$ and their quiver versions as correspondences provide the geometric counterpart of the $qq$-characters, line and surface defects.
