Topological Charge Correlators, Spectral Bounds, and Contact Terms

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The structure of topological charge fluctuations in the QCD vacuum is strongly restricted by the spectral negativity of the Euclidean 2-point correlator for x0x\neq 0 and the presence of a positive contact term. Some examples are considered which illustrate the physical origin of these properties.
