Description

Some time ago Dashen [Phys. Rev. D 3, 1879 (1971)] pointed out that spontaneous CP violation can occur in the strong interactions. I show how a simple effective Lagrangian exposes the remarkably large domain of quark mass parameters for which this occurs. I close with some warnings for lattice simulations
