Abstract
The instanton solution for the forced Burgers equation is found. This solution describes the exponential tail of the probability distributio n function of velocity differences in the region where shock waves are absent; that is, or large positive velocity differences. The results agree with the one found recently by Polyakov, who used thr operator p roduct conjecture. If this conjecture is true, then our WKB asymptotic s of the Wyld functional integral should be exact to all orders of per turbation expansion around the instanton solution. We also generalized our solution for the arbitrary dimension of the Burgers (KPZ) equatio n. As a result we found the asymptotics of the angular dependence of t he velocity difference probability distribution function.
