Field Strength Correlations in the Qcd Vacuum at Short Distance *
We determine by numerical simulations on a lattice the gauge–invariant two–point correlation function of the gauge field strengths in the QCD vacuum, down to a distance of 0.1 fm. ∗Partially supported by MURST (Italian Ministry of the University and of Scientific and Technological Research) and by the EC contract CHEX–CT92–0051.
متن کاملVacuum energy: quantum hydrodynamics vs quantum gravity
We compare quantum hydrodynamics and quantum gravity. They share many common features, both have quadratic divergences, and both lead to the problem of the vacuum energy, which in the quantum gravity transforms to the cosmological constant problem. We show that in quantum liquids the vacuum energy density is not determined by the quantum zero-point energy of the phonon modes. The vacuum energy ...
متن کاملLarge “Dipolar” Vacuum Fluctuations in Quantum Gravity
We study a novel set of gravitational field configurations, called “dipolar zero modes”, which give an exactly null contribution to the Einstein action and are thus candidates to become large fluctuations in the quantized theory. They are generated by static unphysical sources satisfying (up to terms of order G) the simple condition ∫ dxT00(x) = 0. We give two explicit examples of virtual sourc...
متن کاملUnderstanding Long-Distance Quantum Correlations
The interpretation of quantum mechanics (or, for that matter, of any physical theory) consists in answering the question: How can the world be for the theory to be true? That question is especially pressing in the case of the long-distance correlations predicted by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, and rather convincingly established during the past decades in various laboratories. I will review fo...
متن کاملYang–Mills vacuum structure and quantum gravity
Using renormalization group methods, we calculate the derivative expansion of the effective Lagrangian for a covariantly constant gauge field in curved spacetime. Curvature affects the vacuum; in particular it could induce phase transitions between different vacua. We also consider the effect of quantum fluctuations of the metric, in the context of a renormalizable R theory. In this case the cr...
