A gauge theory can be formulated on a noncommutative (NC) spacetime. This NC gauge theory has anequivalent dual description through the so-called Seiberg-Witten (SW) map in terms of an ordinary gauge theory on a commutative spacetime. We show that all NC U(1) instantons of Nekrasov-Schwarz type are mapped to asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) gravitational instantons by the exact SW map and thatthe NC gauge theory of U(1) instantons is equivalent to the theory of hyper-Kõhler geometries.

Abstract
A gauge theory can be formulated on a noncommutative (NC) spacetime. This NC gauge theory has anequivalent dual description through the so-called Seiberg-Witten (SW) map in terms of an ordinary gauge theory on a commutative spacetime. We show that all NC U(1) instantons of Nekrasov-Schwarz type are mapped to asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) gravitational instantons by the exact SW map and thatthe NC gauge theory of U(1) instantons is equivalent to the theory of hyper-Kõhler geometries. It implies the remarkable consequence that ALE gravitational instantons can emerge from local condensates of purely NC photons.
