β¦ Synopsis
The uniqueness of the BPST instanton solution is established by solving the field equations subject to prescribed boundary conditions, but without imposing a priori restrictions of self-duality on the gauge fields.
* Here the standard notation for the 0(4) generatorsMa# is used where K i = Moi and L i = 89 ** Compare with Equation ( 14) of Reference 1.

A manifestly O(4p + 1) invariant formulation of generalised Yang-Mills (GYM) theory on S4p{rlr.r = 1} c R 4p+ t is given, and the corresponding BPST instantons and anti-instantons are shown to be solutions of the equations of motion.
