Color-Flavor Transformation for the Special Unitary Group and Application to Low Energy QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
The color-flavor transformation for the unitary group (Zirnbauer 1996) is extended to the special unitary group. The resulting partition function is represented as sum over disconnected sectors characterized by a U(1)-charge. Application to low energy QCD on a lattice leads to a theory where the inverse number of colors appears as expansion parameter. We use a saddle point approximation to estimate the partition function both in the pure mesonic sector and in the case of a single baryon on a mesonic background.

Bosonic color-flavor transformation for the special unitary group
We extend Zirnbauer’s color-flavor transformation in the bosonic sector to the color group SU(Nc). Because the flavor group U(Nb, Nb) is non-compact, the algebraic method by which the original color-flavor transformation was derived leads to a useful result only for 2Nb ≤ Nc. Using the character expansion method, we obtain a different form of the transformation in the extended range Nb ≤ Nc. Th...
متن کاملBosonization and QCD in Two Dimensions
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is believed to describe the strong interactions. In the asymptotic domain of large momenta, improved perturbation theory describes phenomena by use of point like quarks and gluons. But the spectrum and wave functions are in the non-perrturbative domain, for which not much can be done analytically in four dimensions. In order to develop analytical methods physicists ...
متن کاملBehavior of $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups
We study $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups. We prove Arthur's conjecture, the isomorphism between the Knapp-Stein $R$-group and the Langlands-Arthur $R$-group, for quasi-split special unitary groups and their inner forms. Furthermore, we investigate the invariance of the Knapp-Stein $R$-group within $L$-packets and between inner forms. This w...
متن کاملQCD flux tubes as sigma model relics.
We describe flux tubes and their interactions in a low energy sigma model induced by SU(NF ) → SO(NF ) flavor symmetry breaking in SO(Nc) QCD. Gauge confinement manifests itself in the low energy theory through flux tube interactions with unscreened sources. The flux tubes mediating confinement act as Alice strings in their cores, a phenomenon which may occur for π2-line defects in physically r...
متن کاملAxions: Past, Present, and Future
Consider quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with color group SU(3) and three flavors of massless quarks. The lagrangian is invariant under an additional global flavor group, U(3)L × U(3)R. Although we will use it anyway, this “left–right” terminology is actually somewhat misleading; in four dimensions, a right-handed fermion field is the hermitian conjugate of a left-handed fermion field, and so we c...
