Abstract

Meron, instanton and instanton–antiinstanton field configurations are studied in continuum Yang–Mills theory in laplacian abelian and center gauges in order to detect their monopole and center vortex content. While a single instanton does not give rise to a center vortex, we find center vortices for merons. Furthermore we provide evidence, that merons can be interpreted as intersection points of center vortices. For the instanton–antiinstanton pair, we find a center vortex enclosing their centers, which carries two monopole loops.
