Solving the Schwinger-Dyson Equations for Gluodynamics in the Maximal Abelian Gauge
We derive the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in
the maximal Abelian gauge and solve them in the infrared asymptotic region. We
find that the infrared asymptotic solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators
are consistent with the hypothesis of Abelian dominance.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure; Lattice2003(topology
Latent heat in the chiral phase transition
The chiral phase transition at finite temperature and density is discussed in
the framework of the QCD-like gauge field theory. The thermodynamical potential
is investigated using a variational approach. Latent heat generated in the
first-order phase transition is calculated. It is found that the latent heat is
enhanced near the tricritical point and is more than several hundred MeV per
quark.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Chiral phase transition at high temperature in the QCD-like gauge theory
The chiral phase transition at high temperature is investigated using the
effect ive potential in the framework of the QCD-like gauge theory with a
variational a pproach. We have a second order phase transition at MeV.
We also investigate numerically the temperature dependence of condensate,
a nd (coefficient of the quadratic term in the effective
potential) and es timate the critical exponents of these quantities.Comment: 12 pages,7 figure
Scalar-Quark Systems and Chimera Hadrons in SU(3)_c Lattice QCD
Light scalar-quarks \phi (colored scalar particles or idealized diquarks) and
their color-singlet hadronic states are studied with quenched SU(3)_c lattice
QCD in terms of mass generation in strong interaction without chiral symmetry
breaking. We investigate ``scalar-quark mesons'' \phi^\dagger \phi and
``scalar-quark baryons'' \phi\phi\phi which are the bound states of
scalar-quarks \phi. We also investigate the bound states of scalar-quarks \phi
and quarks \psi, i.e., \phi^\dagger \psi, \psi\psi\phi and \phi\phi\psi, which
we name ``chimera hadrons''. All the new-type hadrons including \phi are found
to have a large mass even for zero bare scalar-quark mass m_\phi=0 at
a^{-1}\simeq 1GeV. We find that the constituent scalar-quark and quark picture
is satisfied for all the new-type hadrons. Namely, the mass of the new-type
hadron composed of m \phi's and n \psi's, M_{{m}\phi+{n}\psi}, satisfies
M_{{m}\phi+{n}\psi}\simeq {m} M_\phi +{n} M_\psi, where M_\phi and M_\psi are
the constituent scalar-quark and quark mass, respectively. M_\phi at m_\phi=0
estimated from these new-type hadrons is 1.5-1.6GeV, which is larger than that
of light quarks, M_\psi\simeq 400{\rm MeV}. Therefore, in the systems of
scalar-quark hadrons and chimera hadrons, scalar-quarks acquire large mass due
to large quantum corrections by gluons. Together with other evidences of mass
generations of glueballs and charmonia, we conjecture that all colored
particles generally acquire a large effective mass due to dressed gluon
effects.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure
Non-Abelian Walls in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
The Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions are constructed
in supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F(>N_C)
hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Exact solutions are obtained
with full generic moduli for infinite gauge coupling and with partial moduli
for finite gauge coupling. The generic wall solutions require nontrivial
configurations for either gauge fields or off-diagonal components of adjoint
scalars depending on the gauge. Effective theories of moduli fields are
constructed as world-volume gauge theories. Nambu-Goldstone and
quasi-Nambu-Goldstone scalars are distinguished and worked out. Total moduli
space of the BPS non-Abelian walls including all topological sectors is found
to be the complex Grassmann manifold SU(N_F) / [SU(N_C) x SU(N_F-N_C) x U(1)]
endowed with a deformed metric.Comment: 62 pages, 17 figures, the final version in PR
Universality, the QCD critical/tricritical point and the quark number susceptibility
The quark number susceptibility near the QCD critical end-point (CEP), the
tricritical point (TCP) and the O(4) critical line at finite temperature and
quark chemical potential is investigated. Based on the universality argument
and numerical model calculations we propose a possibility that the hidden
tricritical point strongly affects the critical phenomena around the critical
end-point. We made a semi-quantitative study of the quark number susceptibility
near CEP/TCP for several quark masses on the basis of the
Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) potential for QCD in the improved-ladder
approximation. The results show that the susceptibility is enhanced in a wide
region around CEP inside which the critical exponent gradually changes from
that of CEP to that of TCP, indicating a crossover of different universality
classes.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figure
Current quark mass effects on chiral phase transition of QCD in the improved ladder approximation
Current quark mass effects on the chiral phase transition of QCD is studied
in the improved ladder approximation. An infrared behavior of the gluon
propagator is modified in terms of an effective running coupling. The analysis
is based on a composite operator formalism and a variational approach. We use
the Schwinger-Dyson equation to give a ``normalization condition'' for the
Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential and to isolate the ultraviolet
divergence which appears in an expression for the quark-antiquark condensate.
We study the current quark mass effects on the order parameter at zero
temperature and density. We then calculate the effective potential at finite
temperature and density and investigate the current quark mass effects on the
chiral phase transition. We find a smooth crossover for , and a
first-order phase transition for , T=0. Critical exponents are also
studied and our model gives the classical mean-field values. We also study the
temperature dependence of masses of scalar and pseudoscalar bosons. A critical
end point in the - plane is found at MeV,
MeV.Comment: 19 pages, 13 figure
QCD S Parameter from Inhomogeneous Bethe-Salpeter Equation
We calculate the low-energy parameter S in QCD, which is also known as
L_{10}, and the pion decay constant f_\pi using inhomogeneous Bethe-Salpeter
equation in improved ladder approximation. To extract these quantities we
calculate the ``V-A'' two-point function, \Pi_{VV}(q^2) - \Pi_{AA}(q^2), in
space-like region. We obtain S = 0.43 \sim 0.48, which is about 30% larger than
the experimental value. The calculated f_\pi is well consistent with the result
by solving the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation for pion. We also evaluate
parameter in SU(3) gauge theory with N_D doublets of fermions in connection
with walking technicolor model, and find that the value of S/N_D hardly depends
on N_D.Comment: 22 pages (LaTeX), 6 PostScript figures are included as
