We calculate exactly the functional determinant for fermions in fundamental representation of SU(2) in the background of periodic instanton with nontrivial value of the Polyakov line at spatial infinity. The determinant depends on the value of the holonomy v, the temperature, and the parameter r{sub 12}, which at large values can be treated as separation between the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield monopoles monopoles (or dyons) which constitute the periodic instanton. We find a compact expression for small and large r{sub 12} and compute the determinant numerically for arbitrary r{sub 12} and v.
