Abstract

Analyzing carefully instanton contributions to the correlation functions in the two-dimensional O(3) non-linear σ-model and imposing the cluster property upon the vacuum, we conclude that the vacua are two-fold degenerate and that a new kind of topological symmetry breaking occurs. We also obtain the correlation length, which coincides remarkably with the result by Shenker and Tobochnik.
