Modified L\'evy Laplacian on manifold and Yang-Mills instantons

Abstract

An infinite dimensional Laplacian defined as the Ces\'aro mean of the second order directional derivatives on manifold is considered. This Laplacian is parameterized by the choice of a curve in the group of orthogonal rotations. It is shown that, under certain conditions on the curve, this operator is related to instantons on a 4-dimensional manifold.
