MIT-CTP-2606 Nonlocal Condensates in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
In the presence of the nontrivial QCD ground state or vacuum, nonlocal condensates are used to characterize the quark or gluon propagator, or other Green functions of higher order. In this paper, we wish to show that, by taking the large N c limit (with N c the number of color) in treating higher-order condensates, a closed set of coupled differential equations may be derived for nonlocal condensates. As a specific example, the leading-order equations for the nonlocal condensates appearing in the quark propagator are derived and explicit solutions are obtained. Some applications of our analytical results are briefly discussed.

Path Dependence of the Quark Nonlocal Condensate within the Instanton Model
The nonlocal vacuum condensates or vacuum correlators describe the distribution of quarks and gluons in the nonperturbative QCD vacuum [1]. Physically, it means that vacuum quarks and gluons can flow through the vacuum with nonzero momentum. Nonlocal condensates play an important role in hadron physics. The nonlocal properties of the vacuum condensates are of principle importance in the study o...
متن کاملVirtualities of Quarks and Gluons in Qcd Vacuum and Nonlocal Condensates within Single Instanton Approximation
We calculate the lowest-dimensional nonlocal quark and gluon condensates within the single instanton approximation of the instanton liquid model. As a result, we determine the values of average virtualities of quarks λq and gluons λ 2 g in the QCD vacuum and obtain parameterless predictions for the ratio λg/λ 2 q = 12/5, and for some ratios of different vacuum condensates of higher dimensions. ...
متن کاملLattice measurements of nonlocal quark condensates, vacuum correlation length, and pion distribution amplitude in QCD
Recent data of lattice measurements of the gauge-invariant nonlocal scalar quark condensates are analyzed to extract the short–distance correlation length, 1/λq, and to construct an admissible Ansatz for the condensate behaviour in a coordinate space. The correlation length values for both the quenched and full-QCD cases appear in a good agreement with the well-known QCD SR estimates of the mix...
متن کاملGauge–invariant nonlocal quark condensates in QCD
The QCD sum rules approach to non– perturbative phenomena in strong interaction physics consists in evaluating the power corrections of the product of two hadronic currents via the Operator Product Expansion (OPE), putting the relevant, unknown information about the non-perturbative vacuum structure in the values of local condensates (〈q̄(0)q(0)〉, 〈G(0)G(0)〉, etc.). However, it has been recogniz...
متن کاملMethods of calculation of higher power corrections in QCD
Although the methods of calculation of power corrections in QCD sum rules are well known, algebraic complexity rapidly grows with the increase of vacuum condensates’ dimensions. Currently, state–of–the–art calculations include dimension 7 and 8 condensates. I summarize and extend algorithms of such calculations. First, I present all the formulae necessary for application of the systematic class...
