Monopoles, Polyakov loops, and gauge fixing on the Torus

We consider pure Yang-Mills theory on the four torus. A set of non-Abelian transition functions which encompass all instanton sectors is presented. It is argued that these transition functions are a convenient starting point for gauge fixing. In particular, we give an extended Abelian projection wit...
