Chaotic instantons in scalar field theory

arXiv:1607.08360 · doi:10.1142/S0219887817501353

Abstract

We consider a new class of instantons in context of quantum field theory of a scalar field coupled with a chaotic background source field. We show how the instanton associated to the quantum tunneling from a metastable false to the true vacuum will be corrected by an exponential enhancement factor. Possible implications are discussed.
