Abstract: (Elsevier)

We present a new family of self-dual positive definite metrics which are asymptotic to Euclidean space modulo identifications under discrete subgroups of O(4). these solutions contain 3 τ − 3 parameters where τ is the signature. We show that a fully general self-dual solution with these boundary conditions should have this number of parameters.

gauge field theory: Yang-Mills
field equations: instanton
quantum gravity: Euclidean
