Abstract

Using approximate methods of nonperturbative quantization \`a la Heisenberg and taking into account the interaction of gauge fields with quarks, we find regular solutions describing the following configurations: (i) a spinball consisting of two virtual quarks with opposite spins; (ii) a quantum monopole; (iii) a spinball-plus-quantum-monopole system; and (iv) a spinball-plus-quantum-dyon system. A comparison with quasi-particles obtained by lattice and phenomenological analytical calculations is carried out. All these objects (except the spinball) are embedded in a bag created by the quantum coset condensate consisting of the SU(3)/(SU(2)~$\times$~U(1)) gauge fields. The existence of these objects is due to the Meissner effect, which implies that the SU(2)~$\times$~U(1) gauge fields are expelled from the condensate. The physical interpretation of these solutions is proposed in two different forms: (i) an approximate glueball model; and (ii) quantum fluctuations in the coset condensate of the nonperturbative vacuum or in a quark-gluon plasma. For the spinball and the spinball-plus-quantum-monopole configuration, we obtain energy spectra, in which mass gaps are present. The process of deconfinement is discussed qualitatively. It is shown that the quantum chromodynamics constant $\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}$ appears in the nonperturbative quantization \`a la Heisenberg as some constant controlling the correlation length of quantum fields in a spacelike direction.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
