Pion masses in 2-flavor QCD with $\eta$ condensation
Abstract
We investigate the 2-flavor QCD with non-degenerate quark masses at low-energy, using the chiral perturbation theory including the meson and anomaly effects. For the fixed , the neutral pion becomes massless at two values of , between which a spontaneously CP broken phase appears with the neutral pion condensation. We then show that the topological susceptibility diverges at these two critical points. We also consider the case of but , equivalently with by the chiral rotation and show that the CP symmetry is spontaneously broken by the condensation at small . Around , three pions become Nambu-Goldstone modes, showing non-standard behavior that , which, however, is consistent with the chiral Ward-Takahashi identities.}
