A New Valley Method for Instanton Deformation*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Instanton and anti-instanton configurations used in evaluating the baryon and lepton number violation process in the standard model are investigated. Although not solutions of the field equations, such configurations play a crucial role in evaluating the relevant amplitudes. The streamline method, which has been employed for this purpose, is examined. A new method that has better features than the streamline method is proposed. The trajectory in configuration space that leads to the instanton and anti-instanton configuration is traced from vacuum using the new method.

On Multiple Instanton-antiinstanton Configurations
We show why and how the IĪ valley trajectory commonly used in the literature so far is in fact unsatisfactory. A better IĪ valley is suggested. We also give analytic expressions for the multiple instanton-antiinstanton configurations in the pure Yang-Mills theory. These formulas make it possible to go beyond the dilute gas approximation and calculate the multi-body interactions among instantons...
متن کاملLevel-Crossing in the Instanton-Anti-Instanton Valley
We study the level crossing of the fermion system described by the euclidean Dirac Hamiltonian in the valley background. One chiral fermion level is shown to cross twice the zero value in the case of well-separated instanton-antiinstanton background. Below a critical separation, however, level crossings are absent. The phenomenon can be interpreted as the transition to a gauge field configurati...
متن کاملNoncommutative Deformation of Instantons
We construct instanton solutions on noncommutative Euclidean 4-space which are deformations of instanton solutions on commutative Euclidean 4-space. We show that the instanton numbers of these noncommutative instanton solutions coincide with the commutative solutions and conjecture that the instanton number in R4 is preserved for general noncommutative deformations. We also study noncommutative...
متن کاملFermion Modes in Instanton-Anti-Instanton Background in (1+0)-dimensional Model
We evaluate the eigenvalues of Dirac operator in the background of instanton-antiinstanton configuration (I-̄I), in a simple (1+0)-dimensional model, and find that quasizero-mode disappears for the closely localized I-̄I configurations. This result suggests that the configurations which are dominant at high energy in the valley method are actually non-anomalous ones and irrelevant to fermion numb...
متن کاملNew geometry for TCP: severe plastic deformation of tubes
Since tubes are widely used for different industrial applications, processing of tubes by the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) method has been the target of different attempts. Among these attempts, development of SPD processes for tubes based on Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has been more successful. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) has been presented as an attractive SP...
