Constituent monopoles through the eyes of fermion zero-modes

Description

We use the fermion zero-modes in the background of multi-caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy as a probe for constituent monopoles. We find in general indication for an extended structure. However, for well separated constituents these become point-like. We analyze this in detail for the SU(2) charge 2 case, where one is able to solve the relevant Nahm equation exactly, beyond the piecewize constant solutions studied previously. Remarkably the zero-mode density can be expressed in the high temperature limit as a function of the conserved quantities that classify the solutions of the Nahm equation
