Review text

By generalizing \textit{C. H. Taubes'} approach [ibid. 19, 517-560 (1984; Zbl 0552.53011)], we construct an infinite number of gauge inequivalent irreducible SU(2)-connections over \(S^ 2\times S^ 2\) and \(S^ 1\times S^ 3\), which are nonminimal solutions to the Yang-Mills equations. These connections have a uniform background curvature, with concentrations near points, spaced evenly along a geodesic. Near half of these points the solution looks self-dual, and near the other half it looks anti-self-dual.
