Cooling is used as a filter on a set of gluon fields sampling the Wilson action to selectively remove essentially all fluctuations of the gluon field except for the instantons. The close agreement between quenched lattice QCD results with…

We argue that the $<A_{\rm OPE}^2>$ condensate found in the Landau gauge on lattices, when an Operator Product Expansion of Green functions is performed, might be explained by instantons. We use cooling to estimate the instanton…

Instantons at finite temperature consist of dyons, with their masses depending on the asymptotic Polyakov loop. It is shown that the suppression of heavy dyons can explain qualitatively the behavior of the periodic and antiperiodic chiral…

Monopole-like objects have been identified in multiple lattice studies, and there is now a significant amount of literature on their importance in phenomenology. Some analytic indications of their role, however, are still missing. The 't…

We show that $QCD_2$ with adjoint fermions involves instantons due to nontrivial $\pi_1[SU(N)/Z_N]~=~Z_N$. At high temperatures, quasiclassical approximation works and the action and the form of effective (with account of quantum…

We analyze finite temperature effects in the generation of bright solitons in condensates in optical lattices. We show that even in the presence of strong phase fluctuations solitonic structures with well defined phase profile can be…

We investigate the monopole-instanton correlation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a renormalisation group inspired smoothing technique. We look at the properties of monopole clusters and their correlation with instantons. Since the…

Monopoles and instantons are sheets (membranes) and strings in d=5+1, respectively, and instanton strings can terminate on monopole sheets. We consider a pair of monopole and anti-monopole sheets which is unstable to decay and results in a…

The dynamics of instantons and anti-instantons in lattice QCD can be studied by analysing the action and topological charge of configurations as they approach a self-dual or anti-self-dual state, i.e. a state in which S/S_0=|Q|. We use…

We construct instanton-like classical solutions of the fixed point action of a suitable renormalization group transformation for the SU(3) lattice gauge theory. The problem of the non-existence of one-instantons on a lattice with periodic…

Instantons are tunneling solutions that connect two vacua, and under a small change in the potential, instantons sometimes disappear. We classify these disappearances as smooth (decay rate goes to 0 at disappearance) or abrupt (decay rate…

Non-abelian gauge theories can be cast into abelian gauge theories with monopoles. We ask what becomes of the instantons after abelian projection. Instantons are found to consist of closed dyon loops. It is shown that the electric charge of…

We analyze topological objects in pure QCD in the presence of external quarks by calculating the distributions of instanton and monopole densities around static color sources. We find a suppression of the densities close to external sources…

We show that in certain non-Abelian Born-Infeld-Higgs theories there are monopole solutions obeying Bogomol'nyi-like equations in the Prasad-Sommerfield limit. We also discuss the existence of instanton solution in an SU(2) Born-Infeld…

Lattice field theory provides a quantitative tool to study the role of nonperturbative semiclassical configurations in QCD. This talk briefly reviews our present understanding of the role of instantons in QCD and describes in detail new…

We show that non-perturbative entities such as solitons and instantons saturate bounds on entropy when the theory saturates unitarity. Simultaneously, the entropy becomes equal to the area of the soliton/instanton. This is strikingly…

Bound-state solutions are obtained numerically in the instantaneous approximation for a spin-0 and spin-1/2 constituent that interact via minimal electrodynamics. To solve the integral equations in momentum space, a method is developed for…

We propose to consider lattice monopoles in gluodynamics as continuum monopoles blocked to the lattice. In this approach the lattice is associated with a measuring device consisting of finite-sized detectors of monopoles (lattice cells).…

The progress on calorons (finite temperature instantons) is sketched. In particular there is some interest for confining temperatures, where the holonomy is non-trivial.

We analyze the zero-modes of the Dirac operator in quenched SU(3) gauge configurations at non-zero temperature and compare periodic and anti-periodic temporal boundary conditions for the fermions. It is demonstrated that for the different…
