Quark condensate in two-flavor QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the condensate in QCD with two flavors of dynamical fermions using numerical simulation. The simulations use overlap fermions, and the condensate is extracted by fitting the distribution of low lying eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in sectors of fixed topological charge to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory.

Flavor-number dependence of QCD vacuum tensor susceptibilities
The values of quark condensate and tensor susceptibility of QCD vacuum are calculated with different number of flavors. It is shown that, the values of tensor susceptibility are obviously dependent on the flavor numbers while the flavor-number dependence of quark condensate is undetermined.

متن کاملQCD Quark Condensate from SUSY and the Orientifold Large-N Expansion
We estimate the quark condensate in one-flavor massless QCD from the known value of the gluino condensate in SUSY Yang-Mills theory using our newly proposed “orientifold” large-N expansion. The numerical result for the quark condensate renormalized at the scale 2 GeV is then given as a function of αs(2 GeV) and of possible corrections from sub-leading terms. Our value can be compared with the q...

We investigate the finite-temperature phase structure and the scaling of the chiral condensate in lattice QCD with two degenerate light quarks, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We obtain a phase diagram which is consistent with that from the parity-flavor breaking scenario. The scaling relation for the chiral condensate assuming the critical expon...
متن کاملPossible Color Octet Quark-Anti-Quark Condensate in the Instanton Model
Inspired by a recent proposal for a Higgs description of QCD we study the possible formation of a color-octet/flavor-octet quark-anti-quark condensate in the instanton liquid model. For this purpose we calculate two-point correlation functions of color-singlet and octet quark-anti-quark operators. We find long range order in the standard 〈ψ̄ψ〉 channel, but not in the color-octet channel. We emph...
متن کاملSecond-order scaling in the two-flavor QCD chiral transition.
Scaling behavior is analyzed for the two-flavor QCD lattice gauge theory chiral transition. Leading scaling behavior and correction to leading scaling from lattice spacing effects are examined for the quark condensate. Scaling predictions under the assumption of quark mass dominance are tested for the longitudinal correlation length. Second order scaling behavior is consistent with present data...
