The local moduli space of charge-r/N self-dual instantons on a twisted T^4 is identified with the Higgs branch of a 4d N=2 theory on intersecting D5-branes, reproducing prior field-theory results with manifest hyper-Kähler structure.
Simulations of a partially reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai model with one adjoint Dirac fermion show the Polyakov loop remains near zero for periodic boundary conditions as the compactified circle shrinks, supporting adiabatic continuity of the confined phase.
Numerical lattice study shows fractional instantons on twisted T^4 morph into monopole-instantons and center vortices as geometry interpolates between R^{4-k} x T^k, with some transitions discontinuous under deformation.

D-branes and fractional instantons on a twisted four torus: the moduli space as an N=2 supersymmetric Higgs branch
The local moduli space of charge-r/N self-dual instantons on a twisted T^4 is identified with the Higgs branch of a 4d N=2 theory on intersecting D5-branes, reproducing prior field-theory results with manifest hyper-Kähler structure.

Metamorphosis of fractional instantons on a twisted $T^4$ with a double-trace deformation: a numerical study
Numerical lattice study shows fractional instantons on twisted T^4 morph into monopole-instantons and center vortices as geometry interpolates between R^{4-k} x T^k, with some transitions discontinuous under deformation.
