✦ Synopsis
The method of Parisi and Wu to quantize classical fields is applied to instanton solutions . I of euclidian non-linear theory in one dimension. The solution . = of the corresponding Langevin equation is built through a singular perturbative expansion in == 1Â2 in the frame of the center of mass of the instanton, where the difference . = &. I carries only fluctuations of the instanton form. The relevance of the method is shown for the stochastic K dV equation with uniform noise in space: the exact solution usually obtained by the inverse scattering method is retrieved easily by the singular expansion. A general diagrammatic representation of the solution is then established which makes a thorough use of regrouping properties of stochastic diagrams derived in scalar field theory. Averaging over the noise and in the limit of infinite stochastic time, we obtain explicit expressions for the first two orders in = of the perturbed instanton and of its Green function. Specializing to the Sine Gordon and . 4 models, the first anharmonic correction is obtained analytically. The calculation is carried to second order for the . 4 model, showing good convergence.

The equivalence between a scalar quantum field theory in D dimensions and its classical counterpart in D + 2 dimensions which is coupled to an external random source with Gaussian correlations was observed by previous authors. This stochastic quantization is extended to gauge theories. The proof exp
We study gauge theories coupled to massless Weyl fermions within the Stochastic Quantization approach. We extend this method showing how consistent Langevin equations can be written when chiral fermions are present. We also analyse how symmetries can be handled in this approach to quantization. Alth
We perform the stochastic quantization of Yang Mills theory in configuration space and derive the Faddeev Popov path integral density. Based on a generalization of the stochastic gauge fixing scheme and its geometrical interpretation this result is obtained as the exact equilibrium solution of the a
