The concept of an instanton in four dimensions can be generalized when one considers the curvature as having values in a general Lie algebra ℷ instead of su (2)+≅ Λ+2. For a manifold with a G-structure P, a canonical complex is defined in order to formulate the theory of infinitesimal deformations of generalized instantons. A study is made of the exact conditions imposed on P by the existence of this complex, and an examination of these conditions leads one to distinguish classes of Riemannian manifolds characterized by alternatives to a holonomy reduction.
