Symmetry and Exact Solutions of the Maxwell and SU(2) Yang–Mills Equations

Abstract: We give the overview of solution techniques for the general conformally-invariant linear and nonlinear wave equations centered around the idea of dimensional reductions by their symmetry groups. The efficiency of these techniques is demonstrated on the examples of the SU (2) Yang-Mills and the vacuum Maxwell equations. For the Yang-Mills equations we have derived the most general form of the conformally-invariant solution and construct a number of their new analytical non-Abelian solutions in explicit form. We… Show more

“…During the last 50 years, many scientists have been searching for particular classes of solutions of the Yang-Mills equations. The well-known classes of solutions of the Yang-Mills equations are described in detail in various reviews [1], [22]. Only certain (nontrivial) classes of particular solutions of these equations are known because of their nonlinearity: monopoles [21], [10], [16], instantons [4], [20], [3], merons [2], etc.…”
