Phys. Rev. D 65, 084035 (2002) [5 pages]Yang-Mills solutions on Euclidean Schwarzschild spaceReceived 9 January 2002; published 8 April 2002 We show that the apparently periodic Charap-Duff Yang-Mills “instantons” in time-compactified Euclidean Schwarzschild space are actually time independent. For these solutions, the Yang-Mills potential is constant along the time direction (no barrier) and therefore, there is no tunneling. We also demonstrate that the solutions found to date are three-dimensional monopoles and dyons. We conjecture that there are no time-dependent solutions in the Euclidean Schwarzschild background. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
