Text: "Conformal properties of pseudoparticle configurations." The known Euclidian Yang-Mills pseudoparticle solutions with Pontryagin index n are parametrized by 5n constants describing the size and location of each pseudoparticle. By insisting on conformal invariance of the solutions, it is shown that more general solutions exist: they are parametrized by 5n + 4 constants. It is demonstrated that the additional degrees of freedom are not gauge artifacts and correspond to a new degeneracy of pseudoparticle configurations. Physical Review D. Particles and Fields. Series 3, 15(6), Mar. 15, 1977. p. 1642-1646.
