Constituent monopoles without gauge fixing

Abstract

We discuss the recent construction of new exact finite temperature instanton solutions with a non-trivial value of the Polyakov loop at infinity. They can be shown, in a precise and gauge invariant way, to be formed by the superposition of n BPS monopoles for an SU(n) gauge group.
