Abstract
We calculate the instanton contribution to the proton strangeness in
an MIT bag enriched by the presence of a dilute instanton liquid.
The evaluation is based on the expression of the nucleon matrix
elements of bilinear strange-quark operators in terms of a model
valence nucleon state and the interactions producing quark-antiquark
fluctuations on top of that valence state. Our method combines use of the
the evolution operator containing a strangeness source
and the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. It enables one to evaluate
the strangeness in different Lorentz channels in essentially the same
way. Only the scalar channel is found to be affected by the
interaction induced by the random instanton liquid.
