Magnetic Monopole Content of Hot Instantons
Abstract
We study the Abelian projection of an instanton in R3 × S1 as a function of temperature (T) and non-trivial holonomic twist (ω) 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.
