We then explain how non-perturbative effects can be obtained by instanton calculus. The co rresponding Feynman diagrams (integrals) are used for the calculation of t he tunneling amplitude up to the three-loop order. Unlike the two-loop con tribution where all involved Feynman integrals are rational numbers\, we w ill show that in the three-loop case they contain irrational contributions as well.\n DTSTART:20170424T193000Z DTEND:20170425T203000Z LOCATION:Room 4336\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3T 1J4\, Pavillon André-Aisensta dt\, 2920\, Chemin de la tour\, 5th floor SUMMARY:Adrian Escobar\, CRM URL:/mathstat/channels/event/adrian-escobar-crm-267815 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
