Stringlike solutions of the self‐dual Yang–Mills equations (dimensionally reduced to R2) are sought. A multistring Ansatz results in the sinh–Gordon and Liouville equations. According to a general theorem, the solutions must be either real and singular and have infinite action, or complex and nonsingular, with zero action. In the Liouville case, explicit arbitrarily separated n‐string solutions of both classes are given. The magnetic flux for these solutions is found to be the Chern class of a Kaehler manifold, and it consequently assumes quantized values 4πn/e. The axisymmetric version of the sinh–Gordon is solved by the third Painleve transcendent P3, using the results on P3 by Wu et al. [Phys. Rev. B 13, 316 (1976)] and McCoy et al. [J. Math. Phys. 18, 10 (1977)]. The axisymmetric case can be cast into the Ernst equation framework for the generation of further solutions. In the Appendix, the Euclideanized Ernst equation is shown to give self‐dual Gibbons–Hawking gravitational instantons.
