摘要
We describe the properties of instantons in lattice gauge theory when the action is a fixed-point action of some renormalization group transformation, We present a theoretically consistent method for measuring topological charge using an inverse renormalization group transformation. We show that, using a fixed-point action, the action of smooth configurations with non-ten, topological charge is greater than or equal to its continuum value 8 pi(2)/g(2).
