Abstract: We prove that the pullback of the SU(n)-soliton of Chern class $c_2=1$ over $mathbb{S}^4$ via the radial projection $pi:mathbb{B}^{5}setminus0omathbb{S}^4$ minimizes the Yang-Mills energy under the fixed boundary trace constraint. In particular this shows that stationary Yang-Mills connections in high dimension can have singular sets of codimension 5.
