Calculation of Four-Quark Condensate Beyond Vacuum Saturation Approximation

Based on a modification of theaglobal color symmetry model, we have calculated the four-quark condensate beyond vacuum saturation approximation by including the contribution of r and u mesons. The numerical results show that there is a sizeable correction of the four-quark condensate in comparison with its factorized value using the vacu urn saturation approximation.     

The Effective Gluon Propagator in the Global Color Symmetry Model

It is shown that the effective gluon propagator in the global color symmetry model can be calculated in the instanton dilute liquid approximation. The calculated effective gluon propagator is consistent with the general command on the qualitative features of the gluon propagator, i.e., (i) the gluon propagator is significantly enhanced at small space-like k², and (ii) for k² > 1.5 GeV² the perturbative results are quantitatively reliable.     

Tensor Susceptibilities of QCD Vacuum and Parameterized Quark Propagator

Based on the parameterized fully dressed quark propagator proposed by us, the tensor susceptibilities of QCD vacuum and quark vacuum condensates are investigated. Our predicted values of the tensor susceptibilities are in agreement with those predicted by many other theoretical models with QCD feature. The results also show that the tensor susceptibility of QCD vacuum strongly depends on flavor of quark but not sensitive to variation of quark vacuum condensates. However, the quark vacuum condensate is very sensitive to the change of cut-off-parameter μ^2 of the integration, that is, it depends on the separation point of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD region. The successful predictions clearly indicate the extensive validity of our parameterized fully dressed quark propagator used here.     

QCD Sum Rule External Field Approach and Vacuum Susceptibilities

Quark Gluon Condensate, Virtuality and Susceptibility of QCD Vacuum

We study vacuum of QCD in this work. The structure of non-local quark vacuum condensate, values of various local quark and gluon vacuum condensates, quark-gluon mixed vacuum condensate, quark and gluon virtuality in QCD vacuum state, quark dynamical mass and susceptibility of QCD vacuum state to external field are predicted by use of the solutions of Dyson-Schwinger equations in ＂rainbow＂ approximation with a modeling gluon propagator and three different sets of quark-quark interaction parameters. Our theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the correspondent empirical values used widely in literature, and many other theoretical calculations. The quark propagator and self-energy functions are also obtained from the numerical solutions of Dyson Schwinger equations. This work is centrally important for studying non-perturbative QCD, and has many important applications both in particle and nuclear physics.     

The Mixed Quark-Gluon Condensate from the Global Color Symmetry Model

The mixed quark-gluon condensate from the global color symmetry model is derived. It is shown that the mixed quark-gluon condensate depends explicitly on the gluon propagator. This interesting feature may be regarded as an additional constraint on the model of gluon propagator. The values of the mixed quark-gluon condensate from some ansatz for the gluon propagator are compared with those determined from QCD sum rules.

Vacuum structure,chiral symmetry breaking and electric dipole moment of neutron

Considering a CP-violating QCD interaction, the electric dipole moment of neutron (EDMN) is estimated in a quark model of light mesons with a dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry through a non-trivial vacuum structure. Pion and kaon, being treated consistently within the model, yield to the constituent quark wave functions as well as the dynamical quark masses and thus determine the constituent quark field operators with respect to light quark flavors. Using the translationally invariant hadronic states and these constituent quark field operators, the EDMN estimated here remains well within the recent experimental bound ofD _n<11 × 10⁻²⁶ e-cm with the CP-violation parameter |ϑ|=10⁻⁸, which in fact accounts for a strong CP-violation.     

Non-perturbative Aspects of QCD and Parameterized Quark Propagator

Based on the Global Color Symmetry Model, the non-perturbative Q, CD vacuum is investigated in the parameterized fully dressed quark propagator. Our theoretical predictions for various quantities characterized the QCD vacuum are in agreement with those predicted by many other phenomenologieal QCD inspired models. The successful predictions clearly indicate the extensive validity of our parameterized quark propagator used here. A detailed discussion on the arbitrariness in determining the integration cut-off parameter ofμ in calculating QCD vacuum condensates and a good method, which avoided the dependence of calculating results on the cut-off parameter is also strongly recommended to readers.     

Yoichiro Nambu and the Concept of Apparent Vacuum: A Stepping Stone to Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

The processes of discovery and concept formation are as mysterious as they are intriguing. In this article, they give a sketch of Yoichiro Nambu's long path toward the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking focusing on the pivotal role played by his notion of “apparent vacuum”. This is instrumental to draw the original analogical correspondence between the vacuum of quantum field theory and solid matter, which, transforming over time in its use and purpose, enables Nambu to arrive at the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking. From this historical episode they draw a methodological lesson and emphasise the broad cultural influences that conditioned the conceptual development.
