Abstract

We show that there are solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills classical equations of motion in R⁴, which are self-dual and vortex-like(fluxons). The action density is concentrated along a thick two-dimensional wall (the world sheet of a straight infinite vortex line). The configurations are constructed from self-dual R² x T² configurations.
