What does the Euclidean pseudoparticle do in Minkowski space. [Topology]
Self dual pseudoparticle solutions for the classical Yang--Mills field equation with finite action have been constructed in Minkowski space. It is shown that the topological structures apparent in Euclidean space are no longer present in Minkowski space. Topological charges become fractional leading to the unquantized axial charge violation in the process involving fermions. 17 references.
