Chirally Extended QCD or An Asymptotically Free Chiral Linear Sigma Model With Quarks Coupled to Gluons
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the quark (not nucleon) based chiral linear σ model which receives strong support as a mean field theory for the strong interactions can actually be made asymptotically free by coupling to gluons. It has the further bonus of providing confinement.Alternatively, this theory is QCD that is chirally extended by the addition of a (σ, π) chiral multiplet. It could therefore be a candidate theory for the strong interactions which is somewhat different from QCD. Typeset using REVTEX 1

An Elementary (pseudo)scalar at All Scales
We consider an extended linear σ model in which the fermions are quarks and are coupled to gluons. Equivalently, this is QCD extended by coupling the quarks to a colour singlet chiral multiplet of (σ, π) fields. This theory has a phase governed by a UV fixed point where all couplings are AF (asymptotically free). This implies that the scalars are elementary at high energies (UV) and, as they ar...

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is described within the linear sigma model of QCD coupled to quarks. The main technical tool used for this intrinsically non– perturbative problem is an exact renormalization group equation for the quantum effective action. It is demonstrated that realistic values for phenomenological quantities like the pion decay constant, constituent quark masses or the chi...

We study two body decays of a scalar glueball. We show that in QCD a spin-0 pure glueball (a state only with gluons) cannot decay into a pair of light quarks if chiral symmetry holds exactly, i.e., the decay amplitude is chirally suppressed. However, this chiral suppression does not materialize itself at the hadron level such as in decays into π + π − and K + K −. We show this explicitly in two...
متن کاملSpectral Functions of Quarks in Quark Matter⋆
We present a simple albeit self-consistent approach to the spectral function of light quarks in infinite quark matter. Relations between correlation functions and collision rates are used to calculate the spectral function in an iterative procedure. The quark interactions are described by the SU(2) Nambu– Jona-Lasinio model. Calculations were performed in the chirally restored phase at zero tem...

The evidence and the theoretical justification of chiral symmetry restoration in high-lying hadrons is presented. I. CHIRAL SYMMETRY RESTORATION OF THE SECOND KIND It has recently been suggested that the parity doublet structure seen in the spectrum of highly excited baryons may be due to effective chiral symmetry restoration for these states [1]. This phenomenon can be understood in very gener...
