Title: Extension of Self-Dual Yang-Mills equations across the 8th dimension

Miscellaneous ·
OSTI ID:7271948

The authors introduce a class of elliptic generalized Einstein equations adapting the Self-Dual and Anti-Self-Dual Yang-Mills equations to oriented Riemannian 8-manifolds (X[sup 8], g[sub ij]) with the virtual dimension of the Moduli space of solutions given by [written equation]. The authors construct on S[sup 8] a 9-dimensional moduli space M(S[sup 8]) [congruent] B[sup 9] of soliton-like solutions given as the translates of the Levi-Civita connection by arbitrary conformal transformations. Existence is shown on any Einstein manifold. Proposed extension to all even dimensions is sketched.
