Description

The existence of instantons on the lattice in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated for various lattice actions with loops of up to six lattice spacings. Instantons exist only for the actions where short range fluctuations are suppressed. A formula for topological properties of the solutions are examined. (orig.)
