Description

The four types of maximally nontrivial calorons in SU(2)-QCD have characteristic spatial distribution of Polyakov loops. We describe a classical geometric model of an SU(2)-field with finite, stable solitonic solutions with the same structure as these four types of calorons. These solitons are characterised by two topological quantum numbers which can be compared with electric charge and spin. Two
additional Goldstone bosons we relate to the properties of photons.
