Abstract
Making use of the general theory of connections invariant under a symmetry group which acts transitively on fibers, explicit solutions are derived for SU(2)×SU(2)-symmetric multi-instantons over S 2×S 2, with SU(2) structure group. These multi-instantons correspond to a principal fiber bundle characterized by a second Chern number given by 2m 2, with m an integer.
