    On Goldstone bosons decoupling from high-lying hadrons

    Full text link
    In this paper, we discuss a decoupling of the Goldstone bosons from highly excited hadrons in relation to the restoration of chiral symmetry in such hadrons. We use a generalised Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the interaction between quarks in the form of an instantaneous Lorentz-vector confining potential. This model is known to provide spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in the vacuum via the standard selfenergy loops for valence quarks. For highly excited hadrons, where the typical momentum of valence quarks is large, the loop contributions represent only a small correction to the chiral-invariant classical contributions and asymptotically vanish. Consequently the chiral symmetry violating Lorentz-scalar dynamical mass of quarks vanishes. Then the conservation of the axial vector current in the chiral limit requires, via the Goldberger-Treiman relation, that the valence quarks decouple from the Goldstone boson. As a consequence, the whole hadron decouples from the Goldstone boson as well, which implies that its axial constant also vanishes.Comment: RevTeX4, 21 pages, 5 Postscript figures, uses epsfig.sty, new chapter with numerical estimates added, to appear in Phys.Rev.

    Massless fields over R1×H3R^1 \times H^3 space-time and coherent states for the Lorentz group

    Full text link
    The solutions of the arbitrary-spin massless wave equations over R1×H3{\bf R}^1 \times H^3 space are obtained using the generalized coherent states for the Lorentz group. The use of these solutions for the construction of invariant propagators of quantized massless fields with an arbitrary spin over the R1×H3{\bf R}^1 \times H^3 space is considered. The expression for the scalar propagator is obtained in the explicit form.Comment: 6 pages, LATEX, no figures. To appear in Modern Phys. Lett.

    On bosonic limits of two recent supersymmetric extensions of the Harry Dym hierarchy

    Full text link
    Two generalized Harry Dym equations, recently found by Brunelli, Das and Popowicz in the bosonic limit of new supersymmetric extensions of the Harry Dym hierarchy [J. Math. Phys. 44:4756--4767 (2003)], are transformed into previously known integrable systems: one--into a pair of decoupled KdV equations, the other one--into a pair of coupled mKdV equations from a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of Kupershmidt.Comment: 7 page
