Abstract
We review results of the last two years concerning caloron solutions of unit charge with non-trivial holonomy, revealing the constituent monopole nature of these instantons. For SU(n) there are n such BPS constituents. New is the presentation of the exact values for the Polyakov loop at the three constituent locations for the SU(3) caloron with arbitrary holonomy. At these points two eigenvalues coincide, extending earlier results for SU(2) to a situation more generic for general SU(n).
