Instanton analysis is applied to model A of critical dynamics. It is shown that the static instanton of the massless $\phi^{4}$ model determines the large-order asymptotes of the perturbation expansion of the dynamic model.
We discuss the Matrix Model aspect of configurations saturating a fixed number of fermionic zero modes. This number is independent of the rank of the gauge group and the instanton number. This will allow us to define a large-$N_c$ limit of…

In supersymmetric QCD with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f flavors, it is known that instantons generate a superpotential if N_f=N_c-1 and deform the moduli space of vacua if N_f=N_c. But the role of instantons has been unclear for N_f>N_c. In…
