We discuss the vacuum structure of the SU(6) model, a chiral gauge theory, from the perspective of anomaly matching. To this end, we first identify all possible 't Hooft anomalies in the UV theory using the Stora-Zumino procedure.…
We study an 't Hooft anomaly of massless QCD at finite temperature. With the imaginary baryon chemical potential at the Roberge-Weiss point, there is a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry which can be used to define confinement. We show the existence…
The AdS/QCD models suggest an interesting idea that the effective theory of low-energy QCD may be formulated as a 5-dimensional field theory in the weak coupling regime in which the fifth coordinate plays a role of inverse energy scale.…
A new framework is introduced to connect between a charge symmetry breaking (CSB) energy density functional (EDF) and the low-energy constants derived from quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By constructing a QCD-based CSB EDF, this method…
We propose a mechanism which explains the masses of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons without invoking the explicit violation of $U(1)_A$ symmetry by the chiral anomaly. It is shown that the U(1) problem, the problem for which the prediction of…
We apply Bogoliubov compensation principle to the gauge electro-weak interaction to demonstrate a spontaneous generation of anomalous three-boson gauge invariant effective interaction. The non-trivial solution of compensation equations…
The combined absence of physical realizations of the UA(1) symmetry possessed by the classical QCD action in the chiral limit, and of an isoscalar Goldstone boson associated with its spontaneous breakdown, has been dubbed the UA(1) problem.…
We discuss consequences of the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with massless fundamental quarks. We derive the new discrete 't Hooft anomaly of massless QCD for generic numbers of color $N_\mathrm{c}$…
We present a holographic dual of four-dimensional, large N_c QCD with massless flavors. This model is constructed by placing N_f probe D8-branes into a D4 background, where supersymmetry is completely broken. The chiral symmetry breaking in…
