Abstract
Following the observation of Banks and Green that the D-instantons in AdS_5 correspond to the instantons in 4-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, we study in more detail this correspondence for individual instantons. The supergravity solution for a D-instanton in AdS_5 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.
