Abstract

We study one-instantons over \({\overline{\mathbb{C}{\rm P}}^2_q}\), that is, anti-selfdual connections with instanton number 1 on the quantum projective plane \({\mathbb{C}{\rm P}^2_q}\) with orientation which is reversed with respect to the usual one. The orientation is fixed by a suitable choice of a basis element for the rank 1 free bimodule of top forms. The noncommutative family of solutions is foliated, each non-singular leaf being isomorphic to \({\overline{\mathbb{C}{\rm P}}^2_q}\) itself.
