Abstrakt: We introduce for lattice gauge theories an analogue of the Pontrjagin index and a notion of 'selfduality' and 'antiselfduality'. Selfdual and antiselfdual configurations on the lattice have much of the same properties (with some remarkable differences) as the corresponding configurations on the continuum, to which they converge when the lattice spacing goes to zero.
