Abstract: We investigate Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary gauge group on R3imesS1, whose symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Wilson loop. We show that instantons are made of fundamental magnetic monopoles, each of which has a corresponding root in the extended Dynkin diagram. The number of constituent magnetic monopoles for a single instanton is the dual Coxeter number of the gauge group, which also accounts for the number of instanton zero modes. In addition, we show that there exists a novel type of the S1 coordinate dependent magnetic monopole solutions in G2,F4,E8.
