The Color–Flavor Transformation of induced QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
The color–flavor transformation is applied to the U(Nc) lattice gauge model, in which the gauge theory is induced by a heavy chiral scalar field sitting on lattice sites. The flavor degrees of freedom can encompass several ‘generations’ of the auxiliary field, and for each generation, remaining indices are associated with the elementary plaquettes touching the lattice site. The effective, color-flavor transformed theory is expressed in terms of gauge singlet matrix fields carried by lattice links. The effective action is analyzed for a hypercubic lattice in arbitrary dimension. The saddle points equations of the model in the large-Nc limit are discussed.

متن کاملColor-Flavor Transformation for the Special Unitary Group and Application to Low Energy QCD
The color-flavor transformation for the unitary group (Zirnbauer 1996) is extended to the special unitary group. The resulting partition function is represented as sum over disconnected sectors characterized by a U(1)-charge. Application to low energy QCD on a lattice leads to a theory where the inverse number of colors appears as expansion parameter. We use a saddle point approximation to esti...
متن کاملAxions: Past, Present, and Future
Consider quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with color group SU(3) and three flavors of massless quarks. The lagrangian is invariant under an additional global flavor group, U(3)L × U(3)R. Although we will use it anyway, this “left–right” terminology is actually somewhat misleading; in four dimensions, a right-handed fermion field is the hermitian conjugate of a left-handed fermion field, and so we c...
متن کاملNew critical point induced by the axial anomaly in dense QCD.
We study the interplay between chiral and diquark condensates within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau free energy, and classify possible phase structures of two and three-flavor massless QCD. The QCD axial anomaly acts as an external field applied to the chiral condensate in a color superconductor and leads to a crossover between the broken chiral symmetry and the color superconducting phas...
متن کاملBosonic color-flavor transformation for the special unitary group
We extend Zirnbauer’s color-flavor transformation in the bosonic sector to the color group SU(Nc). Because the flavor group U(Nb, Nb) is non-compact, the algebraic method by which the original color-flavor transformation was derived leads to a useful result only for 2Nb ≤ Nc. Using the character expansion method, we obtain a different form of the transformation in the extended range Nb ≤ Nc. Th...
