Constructing SU(N) fractional instantons

Abstract We study self-dual SU(N) gauge field configurations on the 4 torus with twisted boundary conditions, known as fractional instantons. Focusing on the minimum non-zero action case, we generalize the constant field strength solutions discovered by ‘t Hooft and valid for certain geometries. For...
