Abstract

Many of the distinctive and subtle features of the dynamics in the UA(1) channel in QCD can be related to gluon topology, more precisely to the topological susceptibility χ(k^2) = i \int d^4x e^ikx⟨0|T Q(x) Q(0)|0⟩, where Q = α_s trGμνG ̃μν is the gluon topological charge density. The link is the UA...
