Instanton-like Contributions to the Dynamics of Yang-Mills Fields on the Twisted Torus

Abstract

We study $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory in small volumes and with twist $\vec{m}=(1,1,1)$. We investigate the presence of the periodic instantons of $Q=\frac{1}{2}$ and determine their free energy and their contribution to the splitting of energy flux sectors \mbox{$E(\vec{e}=(1,1,1))-E(\vec{e}=(0,0,0))$.}
