Bound states of two interacting particles moving on a lattice can exhibit remarkable features that are not captured by the underlying single-particle picture. Inspired by this phenomenon, we introduce a novel framework by which genuine…

Topological lumps are known to be present in gluonic fields of SU(3) gluodynamics. Near the transition temperature they were classified either as constituents of nondissociated (anti)calorons, or as constituents of (anti)dyon pairs, or as…
