Lecture

Dilute Instanton Gas Approximation

Description

This lecture covers the dilute instanton gas approximation, focusing on the Euclidean energy, classical solutions, and the concept of instantons and anti-instantons. It also discusses the multi-instanton solutions and the harmonic oscillator. The instructor delves into the prefactor, kink location, and non-perturbative energy splitting, providing insights into the ground state. The lecture concludes with a reflection on the wisdom of the day.
