D-instanton in AdS5 and instanton in SYM4

Description

Following the observation of Banks and Green that the D-instantons in AdS5 correspond to the instantons in four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, we study in more detail this correspondence for individual instantons. The supergravity solution for a D-instanton in AdS5 is found using the ansatz used previously for D-instantons in flat space. We check that the actions and supersymmetries match between the D-instanton solution and the Yang-Mills instanton. Generalizing this result, we propose that any supergravity solution satisfying the ansatz corresponds to a (anti-) self-dual Yang-Mills configuration. Using this ansatz a family of identities for correlation functions in the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are derived
