Constant field strengths on T^(2n)

We analyse field strength configurations in U(N) Yang-Mills theory on T^{2n} that are diagonal and constant, extending early work of Van Baal on T^4. The spectrum of fluctuations is determined and the eigenfunctions are given explicitly in terms of theta functions on tori. We show the relevance of the analysis to higher dimensional D-branes and discuss applications of the results in string theory.
