THE FRANK KINETIC MODEL FOR SPONTANEOUS CHIRAL SYMMETRY BREAKING WITH VARIABLE CONCENTRATION OF THE ACHIRAL SUBSTRATE
This paper considers the possibility of spontaneous transition of aracemic mixture (composed of equal amounts of two enantiomeric species, say L and D) into a monochiral state (in which only one enantiomer, say L, is present). Transitions of this kind have been recently experimentally observed. A plausible approach to this phenomenon is a model put forward by Frank, based on simple laws of ...
متن کاملSpontaneous chiral symmetry breaking by hydromagnetic buoyancy.
Evidence for the parity-breaking nature of the magnetic buoyancy instability in a stably stratified gas is reported. In the absence of rotation, no helicity is produced, but the nonhelical state is found to be unstable to small helical perturbations during the development of the instability. The parity-breaking nature of this magnetohydrodynamic instability appears to be the first of its kind a...
متن کاملSpontaneous chiral symmetry breaking on the lattice
Using lattice QCD we study the spectrum of low-lying fermion eigenmodes. According to the Banks-Casher relation, accumulation of the low-mode is responsible for the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in the QCD vacuum. On the lattice we use the overlap fermion formulation that preserves exact chiral symmetry, which is essential for low-lying mode distributions. Through a detailed compariso...
متن کاملSpontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking in three-dimensional QED.
In three-dimensional QED with a Chern–Simons term we study the phase structure associated with chiral-symmetry breaking in the framework of the Schwinger–Dyson equation. We give detailed analyses on the analytical and numerical solutions for the Schwinger–Dyson equation of the fermion propagator, where the nonlocal gauge-fixing procedure is adopted to avoid wavefunction renormalization for the ...
متن کاملUniversality of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in gauge theories
We investigate one-flavor QCD with an additional chiral scalar field. For a large domain in the space of coupling constants, this model belongs to the same universality class as QCD, and the effects of the scalar become unobservable. This is connected to a “bound-state fixed point” of the renormalization flow for which all memory of the microscopic scalar interactions is lost. The QCD domain in...
