Non-linear composition and infinite conformal symmetry of topologically non-trivial solutions in $$(3+1)$$ ( 3 + 1 ) -dimensional Yang–Mills theory

Abstract An infinite-dimensional family of analytic solutions in pure SU(2) Yang–Mills theory at finite density in $$(3+1)$$ ( 3 + 1 ) dimensions is constructed. It is labelled by two integeres (p and q) as well as by a two-dimensional free massless scalar field. The gauge field depends on all the 4...
