Abstract
We study Dirac operator zero-modes on a torus for gauge background with uniform field strengths. Under the basic translations of the torus coordinates the wave functions are subject to twisted periodic conditions. In suitable torus coordinates the zero-mode wave functions can be related to holomorphic functions of the complex torus coordinates. Half of the twisted boundary conditions for the holomorphic part of the zero-mode wave function can be made periodic or anti-periodic. The remaining half is until coordinate dependent but diagonal. We completely solve the twisted boundary conditions and construct the zero-mode wave functions. The chirality and the degeneracy of the zero-modes are uniquely determined by the gauge background and are consistent with the index theorem.
