In this paper kink scattering processes are investigated in the Montonen-Sarker-Trullinger-Bishop model. The MSTB model is in fact a one-parametric family of relativistic scalar field theories living in a one-time one-space Minkowski…
In this paper we describe the structure of a class of two-component scalar field models in a (1+1) Minkowskian space-time which generalize the well-known Montonen-Sarker-Trullinger-Bishop -hence MSTB- model. This class includes all the…
In this article we consider a path integral formulation of the Hubbard model based on a SU(2)-symmetrical Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation that couples auxiliary field to the local electronic density. This decoupling is known to have a…
We interpret a class of 4k-dimensional instanton solutions found by Ward, Corrigan, Goddard and Kent as four-dimensional instantons at angles. The superposition of each pair of four-dimensional instantons is associated with four angles…
The known calculations of the fermion condensate $<\bar{\psi}\psi>$ and the correlator $<\bar{\psi}\psi(x) ~\bar{\psi}\psi(0)>$ have been interpreted in terms of {\em localized} instanton solutions minimizing the {\em effective} action.…
A family of SO(10) symmetric instanton solutions in Type IIB supergravity is developed. The instanton of least action is a candidate for the low-energy, semiclassical approximation to the {D=--1} brane. Unlike a previously published…

An instanton method is proposed to investigate the quantum tunneling between two weakly-linked Bose-Einstein condensates confined in double-well potential traps. We point out some intrinsic pathologies in the earlier treatments of other…
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 instanton solutions in general relativity with a scalar field. The metric ansatz we use is composed of a particular warp product of general Einstein metrics, such as those found in a number of cosmological settings, including…
An instanton $(E, D)$ on a (pseudo-)hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$ is a vector bundle $E$ associated to a principal $G$-bundle with a connection $D$ whose curvature is pointwise invariant under the quaternionic structures of $T_x M, \ x\in M$,…
We construct an Imbimbo-Mukhi type matrix model, which reproduces exactly the partition function of ${\mathbb{CP}^1}$ topological strings in the small phase space, Nekrasov's instanton counting in ${\cal{N}}=2$ gauge theory and the large…
The topological $\sigma$ model with the black hole metric of the target space is considered. It has been shown before that this model is in the phase with BRST-symmetry broken. In particular, vacuum energy is non-\-zero and correlation…
Instantons and their quantisation in pure Yang-Mills theory formulated in the background of de Sitter spacetime represented by spatially-closed ($k = 1$) Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are discussed. As for the classical treatment of the…
A new method is used to investigate the tunneling between two weakly-linked Bose-Einstein condensates confined in double-well potential traps. The nonlinear interaction between the atoms in each well contributes to a finite chemical…
By allowing the lightcones to tip over according to the conservation laws of an one-kink in static, Schwarzschild metric, we show that there also exists an instanton which represents production of pairs of chargeless, nonrotating black…
We study the Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian and its corresponding non-perturbative butterfly spectrum. The problem is algebraically solvable whenever the magnetic flux is a rational multiple of $2\pi$. For such values of the magnetic flux,…
Finite temperature instantons between meta-stable vacua of correlated electronic system are solved analytically for quasi one-dimensional Hubbard model. The instantons produce dynamic symmetry breaking and connect metallic state with the…

We discuss various aspects of multi-instanton configurations in generic multi-cut matrix models. Explicit formulae are presented in the two-cut case and, in particular, we obtain general formulae for multi-instanton amplitudes in the…
