Gauge field topology and the hadron spectrum

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2014-11-07 v1

Abstract

Topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations are an interesting aspect of non-abelian gauge theories. These become particularly important upon quantizing the theory, especially through their effect on the pseudo-scalar spectrum. These effects are closely tied to chiral anomalies and the possibility of CP violation in the strong interactions.
