Constructing SU(N) fractional instantons
Antonio González-Arroyo
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, w…
Quantum corrections to vortex masses and energies
Yago Ferreirós, Antonio González-Arroyo
We study the 2+1 dimensional abelian Higgs model defined on a spatial torus at critical self-coupling. We propose a method to compute the quantum contribution to the mass of the AN…
The string tension from smeared Wilson loops at large N
Antonio González-Arroyo, Masanori Okawa
We present the results of a high statistics analysis of smeared Wilson loops in 4 dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory for various values of N. The data is used to analyze the behav…
Adjoint fermion zero-modes for SU(N) calorons
Margarita García Pérez, Antonio González-Arroyo, Alfonso Sastre
We derive analytic formulas for the zero-modes of the Dirac equation in the adjoint representation in the background field of Q=1 SU(N) calorons. Solutions with various boundary co…
