Symmetric calorons and the rotation map


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We study $SU(2)$ calorons, also known as periodic instantons, and consider invariance under isometries of $S^1timesmathbb{R}^3$ coupled with a non-spatial isometry called the rotation map. In particular, we investigate the fixed points under various cyclic symmetry groups. Our approach utilises a construction akin to the ADHM construction of instantons -- what we call the monad matrix data for calorons -- derived from the work of Charbonneau and Hurtubise. To conclude, we present an example of how investigating these symmetry groups can help to construct new calorons by deriving Nahm data in the case of charge $2$.
