Laplacian modes for calorons and as a filter
Falk Bruckmann, Ernst-Michael Ilgenfritz
We compute low-lying eigenmodes of the gauge covariant Laplace operator on the lattice at finite temperature. For classical configurations we show how the lowest mode localizes the…
Instantons and constituent monopoles
Falk Bruckmann, Daniel Nogradi, Pierre van Baal
We review how instanton solutions at finite temperature can be seen as boundstates of constituent monopoles, discuss some speculations concerning their physical relevance and the l…
Monopoles from Instantons
Falk Bruckmann
The relation between defects of Abelian gauges and instantons is discussed for explicit examples in the Laplacian Abelian gauge. The defect coming from an instanton is pointlike an…
Monopoles, Instantons and Confinement
Gerard 't Hooft, Falk Bruckmann
We review the physics of topological objects in QCD. Topics include: solitons, vortices, magnetic monopoles, instantons, (effective theories of) confinement.
