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.
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.

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.
