Abstract

We consider a two parameter family of instantons, which is studied in [Sadun L., Comm. Math. Phys. 163 (1994), 257-291], invariant under the irreducible action of SU2{\rm SU}_2 on S4S^4, but which are not globally defined. We will see that these instantons produce solutions to a one parameter family of Painlev\'e VI equations (PVI\text{P}_{\text{VI}}) and we will give an explicit expression of the map between instantons and solutions to PVI\text{P}_{\text{VI}}. The solutions are algebraic only for that values of the parameters which correspond to the instantons that can be extended to all of S4S^4. This work is a generalization of [Mu\~niz Manasliski R., Contemp. Math., Vol. 434, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2007, 215-222] and [Mu\~niz Manasliski R., J. Geom. Phys. 59 (2009), 1036-1047, arXiv:1602.07221], where instantons without singularities are studied.
