Abstract

We study the ADHM construction of instantons in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang‐Mills theory deformed in constant Ramond‐Ramond (R‐R) 3‐form field strength background in type IIB superstrings. We compare the deformed instanton effective action with the effective action of fractional D3/D(−1) branes at the orbifold singularity of C2/Z2 in the same R‐R background. We find discrepancy between them at the second order in deformation parameters, which comes from the coupling of the translational zero modes of the D(−1)‐branes to the R‐R background. We improve the deformed action by adding a term with spacetime dependent gauge coupling such that the action reproduces the effective action of the fractional branes.
