2 00 2 QCD and Natural Philosophy
نویسنده
چکیده
QCD sheds considerable light on several of the most basic features of the natural world, including the origin of mass, the feebleness of gravity, the extent to which the properties of matter can be determined conceptually, the possible utility of the anthropic principle, and the metatheoretic notions of effectiveness and computability. I discuss these applications here.

QCD in a five-dimensional sliced bulk with chiral extra-quarks on the boundaries is generically free from the strong CP problem. Accidental axial symmetry is naturally present except for suppressed breaking interactions, which plays a role of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry to make the strong CP phase sufficiently small.

Using the classification suggested by Donald Rumsfeld, the subject of the majority of this conference is the “known unknowns” – those questions which can usefully be framed in the context of the standard model of particle physics (and cosmology), but whose answers remain elusive. The unknown, unknowns are the subject of philosophy. In contrast the subject of this talk, quantum chromodynamics or...

Using the pinch technique, we show how to construct the QCD effective charge to all orders. The extension of the concept of the renormalization-group-invariant and process-independent effective charge from QED to QCD is of special interest for several reasons. First, the existence of a QED-like effective charge, and the ability to identify directly and unambiguously the infinite subset of gluon...
