Korshunov instantons out of equilibrium
Abstract
Zero-dimensional dissipative action possesses non-trivial minima known as Korshunov instantons. They have been known so far only for imaginary time representation that is limited to equilibrium systems. In this work we reconstruct and generalise Korshunov instantons using real-time Keldysh approach. This allows us to formulate the dissipative action theory for generic non-equilibrium conditions. Possible applications of the theory to transport in strongly biased quantum dots are discussed..
