We investigate the self-dual Yang-Mills gauge configurations on $R^3\times S^1$ when the gauge symmetry SU(2) is broken to U(1) by the Wilson loop. We construct the explicit field configuration for a single instanton by the Nahm method and show that an instanton is composed of two self-dual monopoles of opposite magnetic charge. We normalize the moduli space metric of an instanton and study various limits of the field configuration and its moduli space metric.

  1. Self-dual monopole loops, instantons and confinement

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    Interactions among self-dual monopole-like constituents of instantons remove the infrared divergence and, the authors conjecture, drive confinement in 4d Yang-Mills.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Presents explicit trans-series calculations for the double-well spectrum via exact WKB and path integral approaches up to four-instanton level.
