We consider quantum tunnelling in asymmetric double-well systems for which the local minima in the two wells have the same energy, but the frequencies differ slightly. We derive a generalization of instanton theory for these asymmetric…

We study the effect of D-instantons on closed string scattering amplitudes in the two-dimensional type 0B string theory from the worldsheet perspective. We find that the contribution from a pair of D-instanton and anti-D-instanton to the…

Using the idea of the instanton approach to quantum tunneling we try to obtain a method of calculating spontaneous fission rates for nuclei with the odd number of neutrons or protons. This problem has its origin in the failure of the…
We study the ergodic properties of Delone-Anderson operators, using the framework of randomly coloured Delone sets and Delone dynamical systems. In particular, we show the existence of the integrated density of states and, under some…
It is shown that the inhomogeneous saddle points of scale invariant theories make the semiclassical expansion sensitive on the choice of non-renormalizable operators. In particular, the instanton fugacity and the beta function of the two…
In contrast with the 3D result, the Beth-Uhlenbeck (BU) formula in 1D contains an extra -1/2 term. The origin of this -1/2 term is explained using a spectral density approach. To be explicit, a delta-function potential is used to show that…
