U A ( 1 ) Symmetry Breaking and the Scalar Sector of QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that most of the unusual properties of the lowest lying scalar (and pseudoscalar) mesons can be understood, at the qualitative and quantitative level, on the basis of the breakdown of the UA(1) symmetry coupled to the vacuum expectation values of scalars by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry.

Effective Lagrangian and Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Su(2) ⊗ U(1) Njl Model
Dynamical symmetry breaking and the formation of scalar con-densates in the SU (2) ⊗ U (1) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with two coupling constants has been studied in the framework of the mean-field approximation. The bosonization procedures of the model are performed using the functional integration method. The possibility of the spontaneous CP symmetry breaking in the model under consideration h...

Low-energy QCD in its sector with Nf = 3 flavours of almost massless up and down quarks (mu ≈ md ∼ O(5MeV)) and a slightly heavier strange quark (ms ∼ O(100MeV)) is known to have the following characteristic symmetry breaking pattern: the Goldstone bosons related to spontaneously broken chiral SU(3) × SU(3) symmetry are identified with the pions and kaons. Their masses originate from explicit s...

With the help of the functional integration method, the formation of scalar, pseudoscalar condensates, and dynamical symmetry breaking in the U (3) four-fermion model has been investigated. We show the possibility of spontaneous CP symmetry violation in the model under consideration. The bosonization procedures of the model are performed; the propagators of quarks, scalar and pseudoscalar field...

We discuss the low energy effective action of QCD in the quark sector. When it is built at the CSB (chiral symmetry breaking) scale by means of perturbation theory it has the structure of a generalized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with CSB due to attractive forces in the scalar channel. We show that if the lowest scalar meson state is sufficiently lighter than the heavy pseudoscalar π ′ then ...

After noting the well known similarity of the minimal electro-weak Higgs sector with the linear sigma model for the pion and the sigma, it is found that a small mixing term between the two models generates a pion mass. Although the custodial SU(2)L × SU(2)R, and the gauged SU(2)L×U(1) symmetry for the whole model remains intact, the mixing breaks the relative chiral symmetry between the two sec...
