Calorons (periodic instantons) are anti-self-dual (ASD) connections on S^1 \times R^3 and form an intermediate case between instantons and monopoles. The ADHM and Nahm constructions of instantons and monopoles can be regarded as generalizations of a correspondence between ASD connections on the 4-torus, often referred to as the Nahm transform. This thesis describes how the Nahm transform can be extended to the case of calorons. It is shown how calorons can be constructed from Nahm data similar to that for monopoles, but defined over the circle. The inverse transformation, from the caloron to the Nahm data, is also described.

The geometry of calorons

We investigate 4+d dimensional fermionic models in which the system in codimension-d supports a topologically stable solution, and in which the fermion may be localised to the brane, with power law in `instanton' backgrounds and exponentially in `soliton' backgrounds. When the fermions are isoscalars, the mechanism fails, while for isospinor fermions it is successful. As backgrounds we consider instantons of Yang-Mills and sigma models in even codimensions, solitons of sigma models in odd codimensions, as well as solitons of Higgs and Goldstone models in all codimensions.

Localisation of fermions to brane: codimension d ⩾ 2

Geometry of calorons

We investigate $4+d$ dimensional fermionic models in which the system in codimension-$d$ supports a topologically stable solution, and in which the fermion may be localised to the brane, with power law in 'instanton' backgrounds and exponentially in 'soliton' backgrounds. When the fermions are isoscalars, the mechanism fails, while for isospinor fermions it is successful. As backgrounds we consider instantons of Yang--Mills and sigma models in even codimensions, solitons of sigma models in odd codimensions, as well as solitons of Higgs and Goldstone models in all codimensions.

Localisation of Fermions to brane: Codimension $d \geq 2$

An iterative map of the unit disc in the complex plane (Appendix) is used to explore certain aspects of selfdual, four dimensional gauge fields (quasi)periodic in the Euclidean time. These fields are characterized by two topological numbers and contain standard instantons and monopoles as different limits. The iterations do not correspond directly to a discretized time evolution of the gauge fields. They are implemented in an indirect fashion. First, (t,r,\theta,\phi) being the standard coordinates, the (r,t) half plane is mapped on the unit disc in an appropriate way. This provides an (r,t) parametrization (Sec.1) of Z_0, the starting point of the iterations and makes the iterates increasingly complex functions of r and t. These are then incorporated as building blocks in the generating function of the fields (Sec.2). We explain (starting in Sec.1 and at different stages) in what sense and to what extent some remarkable features of our map (indicated in the title) are thus carried over into the continuous time development of the fields. Special features for quasiperiodicity are studied (Sec.3). Spinor solutions (Sec.4) and propagators (Sec.5) are discussed from the point of view of the mapping. Several possible generalizations are indicated (Sec.6). Some broader topics are discussd in conclusion (Sec.7).
