Unphysical nature of theSL(2,R)symmetry and its associated condensates in Yang-Mills theories

Abstract: BRST cohomology methods are used to explain the origin of the SL(2, R) symmetry in Yang-Mills theories. Clear evidence is provided for the unphysical nature of this symmetry. This is obtained from the analysis of a local functional of mass dimension two and constitutes a no-go statement for giving a physical meaning to condensates associated with the symmetry breaking of SL(2, R).

“…In particular, O seems to reduce to the gluon condensation A Quite recently, the physical meaning of O was seriously re-examined [7,8] based on the general theory of the BRST cohomology [9]. The purpose of this paper is to answer some of the criticisms raised there without using the abstract theory of BRST cohomology by pointing out a transparent physical meaning of O.…”

“…Phenomenology favors a gluon mass between ∼ 0.500 GeV and ∼ 1.2 GeV depending on how the mass is defined -see table 15 in [4]. Furthermore, a dynamically generated gluon mass can be related with the presence of the A 2 gluon condensate, which is associated with the non-perturbative sector of QCD and whose role has been investigated by several authors -see, for example, [6,7,8] and references their in.…”
