We examine the semiclassical content of SU(3) Yang Mills theory on the lattice at finite temperature. Employing the cooling method, a set of classical fields is generated from a Monte Carlo ensemble. Various operators are used to inspect…
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory at $T>0$ in a finite box with fixed holonomy value at the spatial boundary. We search for (approximate) classical solutions of the lattice field equations and find in particular the dissociated calorons…

We report on our search for Kraan-van Baal calorons in finite temperature SU(2) lattice ensembles. We also discuss recent progress made in developing a caloron-anticaloron gas model decribing confinement and deconfinement in the context of…
The full ADHM-Nahm formalism is employed to find exact higher charge caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy, extended beyond the axially symmetric solutions found earlier. Particularly interesting is the case where the constituent…

Instantons in pure Yang-Mills theories on partially periodic space $\mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$ are usually called calorons. The background periodicity brings on characteristic features of calorons such as non-trivial holonomy, which plays an…
Finite temperature Euclidean SU(2) lattice gauge fields generated in the confinement phase close to the deconfinement phase transition are subjected to cooling. The aim is to identify long-living, almost-classical local excitations which…
We describe the recently found non-selfdual axially symmetric caloron solutions of SU(2) gluodynamics with trivial holonomy. We present the local Polyakov loop together with the action and topological charge density. Different from the…
We construct SU(2) calorons, with non-trivial holonomy, instanton charge 2 and magnetic charge 0 or -1; these calorons have two constituent monopoles, with charges (2,2) or (2,1). Our calorons are U(1)-symmetric and are constructed via the…

The 1-loop quantum weight of the SU(N) KvBLL caloron with nontrivial holonomy is calculated. The latter is the most general self-dual solution with unit topological charge in the 4d Yang-Mills theory with one compactified dimension (finite…
By cooling of equilibrium lattice fields at finite temperature in SU(2) gauge theory it has been shown that topological objects (calorons) observed on the lattice in the confined phase possess a dyonic substructure which becomes visible…

In equilibrium, at finite temperature below and above the deconfining phase transition, we have generated lattice SU(2) gauge fields and have exposed them to smearing in order to investigate the emerging clusters of topological charge.…
We use Laplacian Center Gauge to reveal the vortex content of single SU(2) calorons and multi-caloron systems at different holonomies. The vortex surfaces in a single SU(2) caloron consist of two parts that are induced by the constituent…
The progress on calorons (finite temperature instantons) is sketched. In particular there is some interest for confining temperatures, where the holonomy is non-trivial.
In this talk, relying on experience with various lattice filter techniques, we argue that the semiclassical structure of finite temperature gauge fields for T < T_c is dominated by calorons with non-trivial holonomy. By simulating a dilute…
Calorons in the confined phase for SU(n) gauge theory, having a non-trivial Polyakov loop, "dissolve" in n monopole constituents for large enough instanton scale parameters. We discuss recent results for these caloron solutions and their…
