چکیده

We derive a series of low energy theorems for correlation functions of the topological density in gluodynamics. In particular, the topological susceptibility is found exactly in terms of the gluon condensate. Using low energy theorems, we find the θ dependence of the condensates 〈GG〉, 〈GG̃〉 and of the partition function for small θ and an arbitrary number of colors. As applications of low energy theorems, we find the value of the gluon condensate in gluodynamics from the Witten-Veneziano formula and calculate quantum correlations between the self-dual and anti-self-dual sectors of the theory.

On Topological Susceptibility, Vacuum Energy and Theta Dependence in Gluodynamics

We suggest that the topological susceptibility in gluodynamics can be found in terms of the gluon condensate using renormalizability and heavy fermion representation of the anomaly. Analogous relations can be also obtained for other zero momentum correlation functions involving the topological density operator. Using these relations, we find the θ dependence of the condensates 〈GG〉, 〈GG̃〉 and of...

Once more on the θ - vacua in 2 + 1 dimensional QED and 3 + 1 dimensional gluodynamics

Once more on the θ-vacua in 2 + 1 dimensional QED and 3 + 1 dimensional gluodynamics. Abstract Two different but tightly connected problems, U (1) and strong CP violation problems, are discussed in two different models which exhibit both asymptotic freedom and confinement. One of them is the 3d Polyakov's model of compact QED and the other is 4d gluodynamics. It is shown that although both thes...

Quark Confinement, Topological Susceptibility and All That in 4 Dimensional Gluodynamics

We discuss a few tightly connected problems, such as the U (1) problem, confinement , the θ-dependence within a framework of the dynamical toron approach. We calculate two fundamental characteristics of the theory: the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the Wilson loop and the topological susceptibility. The analogy with well known 2+1 dimensional QED which exhibits confinement phenomenon is als...

Θ Dependence of Su (n ) Gauge Theories in the Presence of a Topological Term

We review results concerning the θ dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories and QCD, where θ is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In particular, we discuss θ dependence in the large-N limit. Most results have been obtained within the lattice formulation of the theory via numerical simulations. We review results at zero and finite temperature. We show that the ...

Anomalous Effective Lagrangian and θ Dependence in QCD at Finite Nc

We generalize the large Nc Di Vecchia-Veneziano-Witten (VVW) effective chiral Lagrangian to the case of finite Nc by constructing the anomalous effective Lagrangian for QCD. The latter is similar to its SUSY counterpart, and has a holomorphic structure. The VVW construction is then recovered, along with 1/Nc corrections, after integrating out the heavy “glueball” fields. A new mass formula for ...
