Confinement , Chiral Symmetry , and the Lattice

چکیده
Two crucial properties of QCD, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, cannot be understood within the context of conventional Feynman perturbation theory. Non-perturbative phenomena enter the theory in a fundamental way at both the classical and quantum levels. Over the years a coherent qualitative picture of the interplay between chiral symmetry, quantum mechanical anomalies, and the lattice has emerged and is reviewed here.

Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Strongly Coupled 1 + 1 Dimensional Lattice Gauge Theories 1
1. Abstract We analyse − within the hamiltonian formalism with staggered fermions − the patterns of chiral symmetry breaking for the strongly coupled Schwinger and U (N c)-color 't Hooft models with one and two flavor of fermions. Using the correspondence between these strongly coupled gauge models and antiferromagnetic spin chains, we provide a rather intuitive picture of their ground states, ...
متن کاملConfinement and Chiral Symmetry, a Lattice QCD test of AdS/QCD
We use lattice QCD simulations to test some of the predictions of proposed AdS/QCD (holographic) duals for QCD. In particular, these duals predict that the scale of chiral symmetry breaking (χSB) can be varied independently from that of confinement, with the proviso that the scale of χSB cannot be longer than that of confinement. We simulate lattice QCD with 2 quarks in the fundamental represen...
متن کاملQCD Monopoles and Chiral Symmetry Breaking on SU(2) Lattice
Pseudoscalar correlator is measured in a singular (monopole dominant) and a regular (photon dominant) parts of a maximal abelian field on SU(2) lattice. In the abelian field and its singular part, light pseudoscalar boson are observed similar to that in SU(2) field. On the other hand , the correlator in the regular part behaves like a product of free quark and anti-quark. Obtained results give ...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopoles and the Topology of Gauge Fields
There are two basic low energy features of strong interactions, which should be explained by QCD: confinement and spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. While the latter can be more or less explained in terms of instantons [1], confinement is much less understood. Recently, however, much evidence has been accumulated for the idea that confinement is realized as a dual Meissner effect [2], at ...
متن کاملThe Zero Temperature Chiral Phase Transition in SU(N) Gauge Theories
We investigate the zero temperature chiral phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory as the number of fermions Nf is varied. We argue that there exists a critical number of fermions N c f , above which there is no chiral symmetry breaking or confinement, and below which both chiral symmetry breaking and confinement set in. We estimate N c f and discuss the nature of the phase transition. An SU(...
