What is The Perturbative Method Fails in Non-Abelian Models about?

It is shown that perturbation theory in $2D$ nonlinear $\sigma$-models as well gauge theories in dimension $D\geq 2$ produces answers that depend on boundary conditions even after the infinite volume limit has been taken. This unphysical phenomenon occurs only in the non-Abelian versions of those models, starting at $O(1/\beta^2)$. It is not present in the true (nonperturbatively defined) models and represents a failure of the perturbative method. It is related to a hitherto unnoticed type of low-lying excitation, dubbed super-instanton, that dominates the low-temperature (= weak coupling) regime of these models.
