TheSU(N) Yang-Mills equations are considered in a four-dimensional Euclidean box with periodic boundary conditions (hypertorus). Gauge-invariant twists can be introduced in these boundary conditions, to be labeled with integersnμν(= −nμν), defined moduloN. The Pontryagin number in this space is often fractional. Whenever this number is zero there are solutions to the equationsGμν=0 HereGμνis the covariant curl. When this number is not zero we find a set of solutions to the equations, provided that the periodsaμof the box satisfy certain relations.
