The Effective Lagrangian of Three Dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the low energy limit of three dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics with an even number of flavors. We show that Parity is not spontaneously broken, but the global (flavor) symmetry is spontaneously broken. The low energy effective lagrangian is a nonlinear sigma model on the Grassmannian. Some Chern–Simons terms are necessary in the lagrangian to realize the discrete symmetries correctly. We consider also another parametrization of the low energy sector which leads to a three dimensional analogue of the Wess–Zumino–Witten–Novikov model. Since three dimensional QCD is believed to be a model for quantum anti–ferromagnetism, our effective lagrangian can describe their long wavelength excitations (spin waves).

Baryons as Solitons in Three Dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics
We show that baryons of three dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics can be understood as solitons of its effective lagrangian. In the parity preserving phase we study, these baryons are fermions for odd N c and bosons for even N c , never anyons. We quantize the collective variables of the solitons and there by calculate the flavor quantum numbers, magnetic moments and mass splittings of the baryo...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics †
The subject of this talk was the review of our study of three (2 + 1) dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics. In our previous works, we showed the existence of a phase where parity is unbroken and the flavor group U (2n) is broken to a subgroup U (n) × U (n). We derived the low energy effective action for the theory and showed that it has solitonic excitations with Fermi statistic, to be identified...
متن کاملOff - diagonal quark distribution functions of the pion within an effective single instanton approximation
We develop a relativistic quark model for hadron structure which, incorporates the non-trivial structure of the vacuum of Quantum Chromodynamics as modelled by instantons, and is defined taking properly into account gauge invariance. Hadrons are boundstates of quarks and the strong quark-hadron vertices are determined from an instanton induced effective lagrangian. The parameters of the model, ...
