Abstract

Description

We study the Abelian projection of an instanton in $R^3 \times S^1$ as a function of temperature (T) and non-trivial holonomic twist ($ω$) of the Polyakov loop at infinity. These parameters interpolate between the circular monopole loop solution at T=0 and the static 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole/anti-monopole pair at high temperature.
