Abstract

SO(8)+/- valued Yang-Mills multi-instantons are generalized to include three more winding numbers by parametrizing S8 = CP1+ X CP3 and performing the map x = (u,v1,v2,v3) --> w = (u(n),v1m1,v2m2,v3m3), so that the action is proportional to the product nm1m2m3. The fields that emerge in this parametrization form local representations of SO(8) at every point (v,m) of CP3 X (Z+)3 through the decomposition SO(8) = SO(8)/SO(7)XSO(7)/SO(6)XSO(6)/U(3)XU(3). Beside the duality relation F AND F = +/-*(F AND F), these fields also satisfy F AND F AND F approximately +/-*F.
