Abstract

We prove that the pullback of the SU(n)-soliton of Chern class c2=1c_2=1 over S4\mathbb S^4 via the radial projection π:B5{0}S4\pi:\mathbb B^5\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb S^4 minimizes the Yang-Mills energy under the fixed boundary trace constraint. In particular this shows that stationary Yang-Mills connections in high dimension can have singular sets of codimension 5.
