Description

As a primitive model of spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry for strongly interacting quarks, confined fermions between parallel plates have been considered. The massless fermion field satisfies the chiral MIT boundary condition. Explicit expressions for the fermion condensate and the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor are obtained.
