Abstract:
We study functional determinants entering the path integral for topologically non-trivial sectors of Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory and we derive some results in exact closed form.This work is supported through funds provided by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract EY-76-C-02-3069 and by the National Science Foundation through funds provided under Contract PHY 79-16812
