QCD vacuum topology and glueballs

  • 1. Instituto de Fisica Teorica (IFT), Sao Paulo, SP (Brazil)

Description

We outline a comprehensive study of spin-0 glueball properties, which, in particular, keeps tracks of the topological gluon structure. Specifically,we implement (semi-hard) topological instanton physics as well as topological charge screening in the QCD vacuum into the operator product expansion of the glueball correlators. A realistic instanton size distribution and the (gauge-invariant) renormalization of the instanton contributions are also implemented. Predictions for 0++ and 0-+ glueball properties are presented.
