After a short general description on real quadrics in a 5-dimensional projective space, the author presents the notion of \textit{conformal connectivity} on 4-dimensional manifolds. The further search of the necessary invariant is related with the Hodge operator. Once the first variation of the Yang-Mills functional and the Yang Mills equation are sketched, the paper ends with three examples of different type of conformal manifolds. On these examples, it is shown that the only invariant, which is quadratic with respect to the curvature \(\Phi\) of the connectivity is the Yang-Mills functional \(\int|{\mathrm{tr}} (*\Phi\wedge\Phi)|\). Reviewer's remark: The first sections presented are not new.
