SL(3,C) elementary instanton configurations
Several SL(3,C) self-dual instanton solutions of the Yang-Mills equations are presented which have very striking properties. While one of them is regular and SU(3) inside (outside) a sphere of arbitrarily large (small) radius, another one has all the characteristics of a meron solution (in particula...

| Sumario: | Several SL(3,C) self-dual instanton solutions of the Yang-Mills equations are presented which have very striking properties. While one of them is regular and SU(3) inside (outside) a sphere of arbitrarily large (small) radius, another one has all the characteristics of a meron solution (in particular its topological charge is concentrated at one point) although its Pontryagin number equals one. Their continuation to Minkowski space is also studied. |
