Reducible Connections and Non-local Symmetries of the Self-dual Yang–mills Equations
We construct the most general reducible connection that satisfies the self-dual Yang–Mills equations on a simply-connected, open subset of flat R. We show how all such connections lie in the orbit of the flat connection on R under the action of non-local symmetries of the self-dual Yang–Mills equations. Such connections fit naturally inside a larger class of solutions to the self-dual Yang–Mill...

متن کاملOn Symmetries and Cohomological Invariants of Equations Possessing Flat Representations
We study the equation Efc of flat connections in a given fiber bundle and discover a specific geometric structure on it, which we call a flat representation. We generalize this notion to arbitrary PDE and prove that flat representations of an equation E are in 1-1 correspondence with morphisms φ : E → Efc, where E and Efc are treated as submanifolds of infinite jet spaces. We show that flat rep...
متن کاملNatural Symmetries of the Yang-mills Equations
We define a natural generalized symmetry of the Yang-Mills equations as an infinitesimal transformation of the Yang-Mills field, built in a local, gauge invariant, and Poincaré invariant fashion from the Yang-Mills field strength and its derivatives to any order, which maps solutions of the field equations to other solutions. On the jet bundle of Yang-Mills connections we introduce a spinorial ...
