In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory perturbation theory generically requires the inclusion of extra contributions non-perturbative in the coupling, such as instantons, to reproduce exact results. We show how full non-perturbative…

In the standard theory of neutrino oscillations it is supposed that physical observed neutrino states $\nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$ have no definite masses, that they are initially produced as a mixture of the $\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, \nu_{3}$…
