We examine saddle point equations imposing anti-periodic boundary condition in time direction. In the case $S^1 \\times S^2$ we find that a solution is inevitably unstable. We briefly refer to the case $S^1 \\times S^1 \\times S^1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-12-21T07:34:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-linear sigma model", "gap equations", "saddle point equations imposing anti-periodic", "point equations imposing anti-periodic boundary", "equations imposing anti-periodic boundary condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 381682 } } }
