Self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions of discrete Yang-Mills equations on a double complex

Abstract

We study a discrete model of the SU(2) Yang-Mills equations on a combinatorial analog of ${\mathbb{R}}^4$. Self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions of discrete Yang-Mills equations are constructed. To obtain these solutions we use both techniques of a double complex and the quaternionic approach. Interesting analogies between instanton, anti-instanton solutions of discrete and continual self-dual, anti-self-dual equations are also discussed.
