Relating Confinement and Topology through Calorons and Dyons
I shall discuss the general status (various approaches) to semiclassica-like models of the QCD vacuum. Then I will describe caloron solutions with generic asymptotic holonomy which are proposed to replace ordinary instantons and usual (Harrington/Shepard) calorons as "building blocks" of the vacuum. Finally, I explain - partly by numerical experiment - why calorons and their constituents are hoped to accomplish confinement.
