Self-dual gauge fields

Ezra Ted Newman · Physical review. D. Particles, fields, gravitation, and cosmology/Physical review. D. Particles and fields · 1980

Using ideas and techniques adopted from the theory of self-dual gravitational fields we investigate properties of self-dual gauge fields. A linear equation which generates these fields is the center for this investigation. Some of the main results are a natural choice of gauge which leads to (a) a Hertz potential, (b) the Lorentz gauge condition, (c) a linear relationship between the field and potential, and (d) the surprising solitonlike behavior of the solutions such that the future and past asymptotic fields are identical.
