We formulate a notion of noncommutative parameter spaces for families of instantons and we explore what it means for such families to be gauge equivalent, as well as showing how to remove gauge parameters using a noncommutative quotient construction. Although the parameter spaces are a priori noncommutative, we show that one may always recover a classical parameter space by making an appropriate choice of gauge transformation. %B Quarterly Journal of Mathematics (2012) 63 (1): 41-86 %I Oxford University Press %G en_US %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/3777 %1 548 %2 Mathematics %3 Mathematical Physics %$ Submitted by Andrea Wehrenfennig (andreaw@sissa.it) on 2009-10-26T14:39:30Z\\r\\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\\r\\n0909.4402.pdf: 469021 bytes, checksum: bbcda76215b8bb90a5704b81326e9dde (MD5) %R 10.1093/qmath/haq036
