We consider new instantons that appear as a result of accounting for quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations naturally regularize the O(4) singular solutions abandoned in Coleman's theory. In the previous works [3,4] we showed how new…

We study the path-integral formalism in the imaginary-time to show its validity in a case with a metastable ground state. The well-known method based on the bounce solution leads to the imaginary part of the energy even for a state that is…

The double-well problem for the two-dimensional Dirac equation is solved for a family of quasi-one-dimensional potentials in terms of confluent Heun functions. We demonstrate that for a double well separated by a barrier, both the energy…
