From the viewpoint of non-perturbative dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theory and dualities of superstring theory we have investigated the geometry of instanton moduli space in higher dimensions and its relation to supersymmetric cycles, which are naturally introduced on the manifold of special holonomy.We first argued that supersyrnmetric cycles play a significant role in the problem of compactifying the instanton moduli space in higher dimensions. As an explicit example we constructed the octonionic instanton solutions on a non-compact eight-dimensional manifold with Spin (7) holonomy. However, our understanding of the geometry of its moduli space is still incomplete and it is an open problem to construct a new kind of topological invariants based on the octonionic instanton moduli space.Quite recently a substantial progress has been made in the five dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory compactified on a circle, which was the research subject in 1998. It seems possible to understand the space-time instanton in topological gauge theory from the world-sheet instanton of string theory in which the mirror symmetry gives a powerful tool.

从超对称规范场理论的非微扰动力学和超弦理论的对偶性的角度出发，我们研究了高维瞬子模空间的几何结构及其与超对称循环的关系，这些循环自然地引入到特殊完整流形上。超对称循环在高维瞬子模空间压缩问题中发挥着重要作用。作为一个明确的例子，我们在具有 Spin (7) 完整性的非紧八维流形上构建了八元瞬子解。然而，我们对其模空间几何的理解仍然不完整，基于八元瞬子模空间构造一种新的拓扑不变量是一个悬而未决的问题。最近，五维超对称规范研究取得了实质性进展。理论紧缩在圆上，这是1998年的研究课题。拓扑规范理论中的时空瞬子似乎可以从弦论的世界面瞬子来理解，其中镜像对称提供了一个强大的工具。
