* ABSTRACT | |||||||
We give a gauge invariant characterisation of a symmetry reduction from the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills system on $R^4$ with gauge group $SU(2,1)$ to the affine sphere equation \\[ \\psi_{z \\bar z} + 1/2 e^{\\psi} + |U|^2 e^{-2\\psi} = 0,\\quad U_{\\bar z}=0, \\] which arises in the context of Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture in Mirror Symmetry. The radially symmetric solutions of the affine sphere equation are characterised by solutions of the Painleve III equation with special values of parameters. |
