Abstract

Using ideas from the Morse theory, a type of limiting field configurations is introduced which is expected to yield non-perturbative contributions to coupling constant expansions of topologically non-trivial quantum field theories. Examples are given for two-dimensional non-linear σ models and four-dimensional gauge fields. For the O(3) σ model the complete set is determined. The results are compared with the exact S matrices in two dimensions.
