Numerical analysis of fractional charge solutions on the torus
  We study by numerical methods a particular kind of SU(N) Yang-Mills solutions of the Euclidean equations of motion which appear on the torus when twisted boundary conditions are imposed. These are instanton-like configurations with the peculiarity of having fractional topological charge. We focus on those solutions with minimal non-trivial action $S=8\pi^2/\N$ and extract their properties in a few different cases, paying special attention to the $N \to \infty$ limit.
