Abstract: (Elsevier)
The effects of instantons on the static quark potential are investigated beyond leading order in g 2 . Qualitative results are obtained in two limits of interest: large and small quark-antiquark separation. The results have some bearing on both phenomenology and the question of quark confinement.
