Magnetic Monopole Content of Hot Instantons

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We study the Abelian projection of an instanton in R3×S1R^3 \times S^1 as a function of temperature (T) and non-trivial holonomic twist (ω\omega) of the Polyakov loop at infinity. These parameters interpolate between the circular monopole loop solution at T=0 and the static 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole/anti-monopole pair at high temperature.
