Abstract
Instantons in pure Yang-Mills theories on partially periodic space \( {\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}^3\times {S}^1 \) are usually called calorons. The background periodicity brings on characteristic features of calorons such as non-trivial holonomy, which plays an essential role for confinement/deconfinement transition in pure Yang-Mills gauge theory. For the case of gauge group SU(2), calorons can be interpreted as composite objects of two constituent “monopoles” with opposite magnetic charges. There are often the cases that the two monopole charges are unbalanced so that the calorons possess net magnetic charge in R3. In this paper, we consider several mechanism how such net magnetic charges appear for certain types of calorons through the ADHM/Nahm construction with explicit examples. In particular, we construct analytically the gauge configuration of the (2, 1)-caloron with U(1)-symmetry, which has intrinsically magnetic charge.
