| Description | We prove formulas for the multi-instanton corrections to the overlap and energies of a 1D same-level asymmetric double well using the Euclidean path integral. The asymmetry primarily means that the potential at neighboring wells can have different Hessians/curvatures, which modify Coleman's original formulas. Examples of symmetric double and triple wells are worked out. |
