72. We will refer to the minima on the potential energy surface between which tunneling takes place as wells, to avoid confusing them with the minima on the ring-polymer and linear-polymer surfaces (i.e., the periodic instanton trajectories and kinks).
73. This treatment can be generalised to the case that there are two or more non-symmetry-related kinks connecting to. However, unless the weights associated with these kinks are very close, one kink will dominate the other(s) which can thus be ignored. We therefore expect such cases to be rare.
