RT Journal Article T1 Instantons and the A2 condensate A1 de Soto, Feliciano A1 Boucaud, P. A1 Leroy, J. P. A1 Le Yaouanc, A. A1 Micheli, J. A1 Pène, O. A1 Donini, A. A1 Moutarde, H. A1 Rodríguez-Quintero, J. K1 Instantons K1 Landau gauge K1 Lattice AB We argue that the A2OPE condensate found in the Landau gauge on lattices, when an operator product expansion of Green's functions is performed, might be explained by instantons. We use cooling to estimate the instanton contribution and extrapolate back the result to the thermalized configuration. The resulting A2inst is similar to A2OPE.
