Mass sum rule of hadrons in the QCD instanton vacuum

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-09-29 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We briefly review the key aspect of the QCD instanton vacuum in relation to the quantum breaking of conformal symmetry and the trace anomaly. We use Jis^\prime s invariant mass decomposition of the energy momentum tensor together with the trace anomaly, to discuss the mass budget of the nucleon and pion in the QCD instanton vacuum. A measure of the gluon condensate in the nucleon, is a measure of the compressibility of the QCD instanton vacuum as a dilute topological liquid.
