We revisit the strong CP problem from the viewpoint of the infrared structure of non-Abelian gauge theories. In Yang-Mills theory, motion between topologically inequivalent vacua may be described in terms of a compact collective coordinate…
Starting from the study of one-dimensional potentials in quantum mechanics having a small distance behavior described by a harmonic oscillator, we extend this way of analysis to models where such a behavior is not generally expected. In…
