Monopole condensation inSU(2)QCD

Abstract: Abstract:We review the quantum instability of the Savvidy-Nielsen-Olesen (SNO) vacuum of the one-loop effective action of SU (2) QCD, and point out a critical defect in the calculation of the functional determinant of the gluon loop in the SNO effective action. We prove that the gauge invariance, in particular the color reflection invariance, exclude the unstable tachyonic modes from the gluon loop integral. This guarantees the stability of the magnetic condensation in QCD.

“…But clearly the two results are consistent with each other. Indeed, as far as the generalized Skyrme theory could be viewed as a generalized Skyrme-Faddeev theory, one could say that the derivation of the generalized Skyrme-Faddeev action from the effective action of QCD [13,15] provides another evidence which supports our derivation in this paper. 2) Our result suggests that the Skyrme theory is a theory of monopoles interacting with the scalar field ξ.…”

“…1) The assertion that one can derive the Skyrme action from QCD is understandable. Recently we have been able to derive a generalized Skyrme-Faddeev action from the one-loop effective action of QCD which we obtained with the monopole background [13,15]. This derivation was different from our derivation of the generalized Skyrme action discussed here.…”

“…The magnetic condensation H can be given by the one-loop effective potential calculation [22] √ H = Λ exp(− 6π 2 11g 2 s + 1 2 ) , where Λ is the QCD cutoff (≃ 0.3 ∼ 0.5GeV ). The further calculations and the comparison with the lattice prediction M 0 ++ = 1.61 ± 0.15GeV [23] as well as holographic prediction 1.3GeV (for Λ = 0.26GeV ) for the mass of glueball 0 ++ will be presented in the forthcoming paper.…”

“…Gauge invariance was ensured by using the Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov decomposition [5][6][7][8] to identify the internal Abelian directions, which also identifies the monopole degrees of freedom unambiguously [9]. It is therefore highly suitable for studies of the monopole condensate [10][11][12][13][14][15] and Abelian dominance [26].…”
