Multi-fractional instantons in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on the twisted T 4 $$ {\mathbbm{T}}^4 $$

Abstract We construct analytical self-dual Yang-Mills fractional instanton solutions on a four-torus T 4 $$ {\mathbbm{T}}^4 $$ with ’t Hooft twisted boundary conditions. These instantons possess topological charge Q = r N $$ Q=\frac{r}{N} $$ , where 1 ≤ r < N. To implement the twist, we employ SU...
