Lecture

Instanton Pre-factor: Interaction with Electromagnetic Field

Description

This lecture covers the derivation of the instanton pre-factor and its interaction with an external electromagnetic field, focusing on the double well potential, dilute instanton gas approximation, and nonperturbative energy splitting. The instructor explains the avoidance of multi-instantons, twisted partition functions, and path integral representations. The lecture concludes with examples demonstrating the energy splitting and potential functions.
