Gravitational suppression of vacuum tunnelling in Yang-Mills …
Published 1 April 1990. Physics. Classical and Quantum Gravity. It is shown that Yang-Mills vacuum tunnelling does not occur in anti-de Sitter space in any number of dimensions. It is well known that pure Yang-Mills systems have a multiple vacuum structure in four-dimensional Minkowski space. The existence of instantons ( 1-31 in these systems ...
