Abstract: (Elsevier)
We discuss a higher dimensional generalization of the four-dimensional Yang-Mills self-duality equation of the form ∗ F=FΛ···ΛF . Some general properties of the equations are established. We show that the canonical connection on the real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces is a solution of these duality equations.
