Abstract We discuss the Bosonic sector of a class of supersymmetric non-Lorentzian five-dimensional gauge field theories with an SU(1, 3) conformal symmetry. These actions have a Lagrange multiplier which imposes a novel Ω-deformed anti-self-dual gauge field constraint. Using a generalised ’t Hooft ansatz we find the constraint equation linearizes allowing us to construct a wide class of explicit solutions. These include finite action configurations that describe worldlines of anti-instantons which can be created and annihilated. We also describe the dynamics on the constraint surface.
