A Nahm transform for rotating calorons

Josh Cork, Derek Harland

Rotating calorons were introduced in the context of rotating quark-gluon plasmas. They are anti-self-dual gauge fields on that are invariant under a glide rotation.…

Finkelstein-Rubinstein constraints from ADHM data and rational maps

Josh Cork, Derek Harland

We establish simple formulae for computing Finkelstein-Rubinstein signs for Skyrme fields generated in two ways: from instanton ADHM data, and from rational maps. This may be used…

A model for gauged skyrmions with low binding energies

Josh Cork, Derek Harland, Thomas Winyard

We consider gauged skyrmions with boundary conditions which break the gauge from to in models derived from Yang-Mills theory. After deriving genera…

A low-energy limit of Yang-Mills theory on de Sitter space

Josh Cork, Emine Şeyma Kutluk, Olaf Lechtenfeld +1

We consider Yang--Mills theory with a compact structure group on four-dimensional de Sitter space dS. Using conformal invariance, we transform the theory from dS to the…

Skyrmions from calorons

Josh Cork

We derive a one-parameter family of gauged Skyrme models from Yang-Mills theory on , in which skyrmions are well-approximated by calorons and monopoles. In p…

Symmetric calorons and the rotation map

Josh Cork

We study calorons, also known as periodic instantons, and consider invariance under isometries of coupled with a non-spatial isometry called the rot…
