A field configuration closer to the true QCD vacuum

  • 1. Barcelona Univ. (Spain). Dept. de Fisica Teorica

Description

An effective action for QCD at one-loop order, which is real manifestly Lorentz and gauge invariant and which depends on an infinite family of gauge invariants (tr(Fsub(μν)Fsub(μν)), tr(Fsub(μν)Fsub(μν)Fsub(rhosigma)Fsub(rhosigma)), ...), is obtained. Moreover, an Ansatz for a vacuum configuration is made, whose corresponding vacuum energy density is lower than the one for the Savvidy Ansatz. Both the cases of pure QCD and of QCD with massless fermions are considered. (orig.)
