    Structure of the Yang-Mills vacuum in the zero modes enhancement quantum model

    Get PDF
    We have formulated new quantum model of the QCD vacuum using the effective potential approach for composite operators. It is based on the existence and importance of such kind of the nonperturbative, topologically nontrivial excitations of gluon field configurations, which can be effectively correctly described by the q4q^{-4}-type behavior of the full gluon propagator in the deep infrared domain. The ultraviolet part of the full gluon propagator was approximated by the asymptotic freedom to-leading order perturbative logarithm term of the running coupling constant. Despite the vacuum energy density remains badly divergent, we have formulated a method how to establish a finite (in the ultraviolet limit) relation between the two scale parameters of our model. We have expressed the asymptotic scale parameter as purenumberpure number times the nonperturbative scale, which is inevitably contained in any realistic Ansatz for the full gluon propagator.Comment: 16 pages, no figures, no tables, to appear in Phys.

    Vacuum instability in the Abelian Higgs model with strings

    Get PDF
    Using the effective potential approach for composite operators, we have analytically evaluated the truly nonperturbative vacuum energy density in the Abelian Higgs model of dual QCD ground state. This quantity is defined as integrating out of the truly nonperturbative part of the full gluon propagator over the deep infrared region (soft momentum region). Defined in this way it is manifestly gauge invariant.We have explicitly shown that the corresponding effective potential always has an imaginary part. This means that the vacuum of this model with string contributions is unstable against quantum corrections.Comment: 7 pages, no tables, no figures. Some clarifications are introduced as well as two more references have been added. To appear in Phys. Lett.

    A Nonperturbative Calculation of Basic Chiral QCD Parameters Within Zero Modes Enhancement Model of the QCD Vacuum. I

    Get PDF
    A new zero modes enhancement (ZME) model of the true QCD vacuum is breifly described. It makes possible to analytically investigate and calculate numerically low-energy QCD structure from first principles. Expressions of basic chiral QCD parameters (the pion decay constant, the quark and gluon condensates, the dynamically generated quark mass, etc) as well as the vacuum energy density (up to the sign, by definition, the bag constant), suitable for numerical calculations, have been derived. Solution to the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation for the quark propagator in the infrared (IR) domain on the basis of the ZME effect in QCD was used for this purpose. There are only two independent quantities (free parameters) by means of which calculations must be done within our approach. The first one is the integration constant of the above mentioned quark SD equation of motion. The second one is a scale at which nonperturbative effects begin to play a dominant role.Comment: 17 pages, two figures added, minor change

    Gluon confinement criterion in QCD

    Get PDF
    We fix exactly and uniquely the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator in QCD, not solving explicitly the corresponding dynamical equation of motion. By construction, this structure is an infinite sum over all possible severe (i.e., more singular than 1/q21/q^2) infrared singularities. It reflects the zero momentum modes enhancement effect in the true QCD vacuum, which is due to the self-interaction of massless gluons. It existence automatically exhibits a characteristic mass (the so-called mass gap). It is responsible for the scale of nonperturbative dynamics in the true QCD ground state. The theory of distributions, complemented by the dimensional regularization method, allows one to put the severe infrared singularities under the firm mathematical control. By an infrared renormalization of a mass gap only, the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator is exactly reduced to the simplest severe infrared singularity, the famous (q2)2(q^2)^{-2}. Thus we have exactly established the interaction between quarks (concerning its pure gluon (i.e., nonlinear) contribution) up to its unimportant perturbative part. This also makes it possible for the first time to formulate the gluon confinement criterion and intrinsically nonperturbative phase in QCD in a manifestly gauge-invariant ways.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, no tables.
