There is a Nahm transform for two-dimensional gauge fields which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the orbit space of U(N) gauge fields with topological charge k defined on a torus and that of U(k) gauge fields with charge N on the dual torus. The main result of this paper is to show that a similar duality transform cannot exist for CPn instantons. This fact establishes a significative difference between 4-D gauge theories and CPn models. The result follows from the global analysis of the moduli space of instantons based on a complete and explicit parametrization of all self-dual solutions on the two-dimensional torus. The boundary of the space of regular instantons is shown to coincide with the space of singular instantons. This identification provides a new approach to analyzing the role of overlapping instantons in the infrared sector of CPn sigma models.

    Explicit theta-function solutions for fractional BPS lumps on a twisted torus are constructed, and the moduli space is a CP^(Nk+p-1) fiber bundle over a small torus, matching the index theorem.
