Abstract

We give an exact solution to the generalized self-duality equations suggested by Tchrakian on a six-dimensional twisted space-time and work on the gauge theory  with a higher-derivative coupling term. The coupling term is considered as geometry as well as interaction dependent. The topological properties are also studied.

Keywords and phrases: topological charge, homotopy group, Yang-Mills fields, Bogomol’nyi inequality.
