Quark scalar, axial, and pseudoscalar charges in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism

We calculate the scalar, axial, and pseudoscalar charges of the quark in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism of Landau gauge QCD. It is found that the dressed quark scalar density of the valence quark is significantly enhanced against the bare quark contribution, and the result explains qualitatively the phenomenologically known value of the pion-nucleon sigma term and also that given by lattice QCD. Moreover, we show that the Richardson's interquark potential suppresses the quark scalar density in the Higashjima-Miransky approximation. This fact suggests that the quark scalar density is an observable that is sensitive to quark confinement. For the quark axial charge, we find that it is suppressed due to the gluon dynamics. The result of the quenched analysis agrees qualitatively with the experimental data of the isovector axial coupling constant $g_A$. We show that the suppression of the quenched axial charge is due to a mechanism similar to that of the quark tensor charge. In the Schwinger-Dyson equation with the leading unquenching quark-loop contribution the quark axial charge is more suppressed, due to the anomaly effect. The quark pseudoscalar density is found to be large, and is divergent as the bare quark becomes massless. This result is in agreement with the phenomenological current algebraic analysis, and explains well the dominance of the pion-pole contribution.

Lattice QCD analysis of the Polyakov loop in terms of Dirac eigenmodes

Using the Dirac-mode expansion method, which keeps the gauge invariance, we analyze the Polyakov loop in terms of the Dirac modes in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD in both confined and deconfined phases. First, to investigate the direct correspondence between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, we remove low-lying Dirac-modes from the confined vacuum generated by lattice QCD. In this system without low-lying Dirac modes, while the chiral condensate $\langle \bar{q} q\rangle$ is extremely reduced, we find that the Polyakov loop is almost zero and $Z_3$-center symmetry is unbroken, which indicates quark confinement. We also investigate the removal of ultraviolet (UV) Dirac-modes, and find that the Polyakov loop is almost zero. Second, we deal with the deconfined phase above $T_c$, and find that the behaviors of the Polyakov loop and $Z_3$-symmetry are not changed without low-lying or UV Dirac-modes. Finally, we develop a new method to remove low-lying Dirac modes from the Polyakov loop for a larger lattice of $12^3 \times 4$ at finite temperature, and find almost the same results. These results suggest that each eigenmode has the information of confinement, i.e., the "seed" of confinement is distributed in a wider region of the Dirac eigenmodes unlike chiral symmetry breaking, and there is no direct correspondence between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking through Dirac-eigenmodes.

A non-perturbative effect of gluons for scalar diquark in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism

The diquark has been considered to be important effective degrees of freedom in hadron physics, especially for multi-quark physics and the structure of heavy hadronic states. Using the Schwinger-Dyson formalism, we investigate the non-perturbative effect of gluons for scalar diquarks with renormalization-group improved coupling in the Landau gauge. Here, we treat the scalar diquark as an effective degree of freedom with a peculiar size, while the diquark is originally a bound-state-like object of two quarks. Since the diquark has a non-zero color charge, it strongly interacts with gluons. We evaluate the gluonic non-perturbative effect to the diquark, considering the size effect of the diquark. We investigate the mass function of the diquark in both cases with a constant bare diquark mass and twice of the running quark self-energy. It is found that the diquark, especially the small diquark, obtains a large effective mass by the gluonic dressing effect. The scalar diquark mass seems to be dynamically generated by the non-perturbative effect, although it does not have the chiral symmetry.

Quark tensor and axial charges within the Schwinger-Dyson formalism

We calculate the tensor and axial charges of the quark in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism of Landau gauge QCD. It is found that the dressed tensor and isovector axial charges of the quark are suppressed against the bare quark contribution, and the result agrees qualitatively with the experimental data. We show that this is due to the superposition of the spin flip of the quark arising from the successive emission of gluons which dress the vertex. For the isoscalar quark axial charge, we have analyzed the Schwinger-Dyson equation by including the leading unquenching quark-loop effect. It is found that the suppression is more significant, due to the axial anomaly effect.

Lattice QCD study for relation between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking on temporally odd-number lattice

We investigate the contribution from each Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop based on a gauge-invariant analytical relation connecting the Polyakov loop and the Dirac modes on a temporally odd-number lattice, where the temporal lattice size is odd, with the normal (nontwisted) periodic boundary condition. The dumping factor in the relation plays crucial role for the negligible contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop. The zero-value of the Polyakov loop in the confinement phase is due to the ``positive/negative symmetry'' of the Dirac-mode contribution to the Polyakov loop. In the deconfinement phase, there is no such symmetry.

Analytical Relation between Quark Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD

We study the relation between quark confinement and spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking directly in QCD. In lattice QCD formalism, we derive an analytical gauge-invariant relation between the Polyakov loop $\langle L_P \rangle$ and the Dirac eigenvalues $λ_n$, i.e., $\langle L_P \rangle \propto \sum_n λ_n^{N_t -1} \langle n|\hat U_4|n \rangle$, on a temporally odd-number lattice, where the temporal lattice size $N_t$ is odd. Here, $|n \rangle$ denotes the Dirac eigenmode, i.e., $\not D|n \rangle=iλ_n|n \rangle$, and $\hat U_4$ the temporal link-variable operator. We here use an ordinary square lattice with the normal periodic boundary condition for link-variables $U_μ(s)$ in the temporal direction. Because of the factor $λ_n^{N_t -1}$ in the analytical relation, the contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop is negligibly small in both confined and deconfined phases, while the low-lying Dirac modes are essential for chiral symmetry breaking. Also, in lattice QCD simulations, we numerically confirm the analytical relation, non-zero finiteness of $\langle n|\hat U_4|n \rangle$ for each Dirac mode, and negligibly small contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop. Thus, we conclude that low-lying Dirac modes are not essential for confinement, which indicates no direct one-to-one correspondence between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

Analytical relation between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in terms of Polyakov loop and Dirac eigenmodes in odd-number lattice QCD

In lattice QCD formalism, we derive an analytical gauge-invariant relation between the Polyakov loop $\langle L_P \rangle$ and the Dirac eigenvalues $λ_n$ in QCD, i.e., $\langle L_P \rangle \propto \sum_n λ_n^{N_t -1} \langle n|\hat U_4|n \rangle$, by considering ${\rm Tr} (\hat{U}_4\hat{\not{D}}^{N_t-1})$ on a temporally odd-number lattice, where the temporal lattice size $N_t$ is odd. This formula is a Dirac spectral representation of the Polyakov loop in terms of Dirac eigenmodes $|n\rangle$. We here use an ordinary square lattice with the normal (nontwisted) periodic boundary condition for link-variables $U_μ(s)$ in the temporal direction. From this relation, one can estimate each contribution of the Dirac eigenmode to the Polyakov loop. Because of the factor $λ_n^{N_t -1}$ in the Dirac spectral sum, this analytical relation generally indicates quite small contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop in both confined and deconfined phases, while the low-lying Dirac modes are essential for chiral symmetry breaking. Also in lattice QCD calculations in confined and deconfined phases, we numerically confirm the analytical relation, non-zero finiteness of $\langle n|\hat U_4|n \rangle$ for each Dirac mode, and negligibly small contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop, i.e., the Polyakov loop is almost unchanged even by removing low-lying Dirac-mode contribution from the QCD vacuum generated by lattice QCD simulations.

Owing to the factor $λ_n^{N_t -1}$ in the Dirac spectral sum, this relation generally indicates fairly small contribution of low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop, while the low-lying Dirac modes are essential for chiral symmetry breaking. Also in lattice QCD calculations in both confined and deconfined phases, we numerically confirm the analytical relation, non-zero finiteness of $\langle n|\hat U_4|n \rangle$ for each Dirac mode, and negligibly small contribution from low-lying Dirac modes to the Polyakov loop, i.e., the Polyakov loop is almost unchanged even by removing low-lying Dirac-mode contribution from the QCD vacuum generated by lattice QCD simulations.

Thus, we conclude that there is no one-to-one correspondence between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. As a new method, modifying the Kogut-Susskind formalism, we develop a method for spin-diagonalizing the Dirac operator on the temporally odd-number lattice.

Gluon Propagators in Maximally Abelian Gauge in SU(3) Lattice QCD

In SU(3) lattice QCD, we study diagonal and off-diagonal gluon propagators in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge with U(1)$_3 \timesU(1)_8$ Landau gauge fixing. These propagators are studied both in the coordinate space and in the momentum space. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed on $16^4$ at $β$=6.0 and $32^4$ at $β$=5.8 and 6.0 at the quenched level. In the four-dimensional Euclidean space-time, the effective mass of diagonal gluons is estimated as $M_{\mathrm{diag}} \simeq 0.3\mathrm{GeV}$ and that of off-diagonal gluons as $M_{\mathrm{off}} \simeq 1\mathrm{GeV}$ in the region of $r =0.4-1.0$fm. In the momentum space, the effective mass of diagonal gluons is estimated as $M_{\mathrm{diag}} \simeq 0.3\mathrm{GeV}$ and that of off-diagonal gluons as $M_{\mathrm{off}} \simeq 1\mathrm{GeV}$ in the region of $p <1.1$GeV. The off-diagonal gluon propagator is relatively suppressed in the infrared region and seems to be finite at zero momentum, while the diagonal gluon propagator is enhanced. Furthermore, we also study the functional form of these propagators in momentum space. These propagators are well fitted by $Z/(p^2+m^2)^ν$ with fit parameters, $Z, m$ and $ν$ in the region of $p <3.0$GeV. From the fit results and lattice calculations, all of the spectral functions of diagonal and off-diagonal gluons would have negative regions.

Polyakov loop analysis with Dirac-mode expansion

In order to investigate the direct relation between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD, we investigate the Polyakov loop in terms of the Dirac eigenmodes in both confined and deconfined phases. Using the Dirac-mode expansion method in SU(3) lattice QCD, we analyze the contribution of low-lying and higher Dirac-modes to the Polyakov loop, respectively.In the confined phase below T_c, after removing low-lying Dirac-modes, the chiral condensate $< \bar{q} q>$ is largely reduced, however, the Polyakov loop remains almost zero and Z_3-center symmetry is unbroken. These results indicate that the system is still in the confined phase without low-lying Dirac-modes. By higher Dirac-modes cut, the Polyakov loop also remains almost zero below T_c. We also analyze the Polyakov loop in the deconfined phase above T_c. We find that the Polyakov loop and Z_3-symmetry behavior are insensitive to low-lying and higher Dirac-modes in both confined and deconfined phases.

Lattice QCD study for stringy excitation and role of UV gluons

In both cases of quark-antiquark (Q-Qbar) and three-quark (3Q) systems, we study ground-state and low-lying excited-state potentials in terms of the gluon-momentum component in the Coulomb gauge in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD. By introducing UV-cut in the gluon-momentum space, we investigate the "UV-gluon sensitivity" of the ground-state and excited-state potentials quantitatively. Such a non-quark-origin excitation is a purely gluonic excitation, which can be interpreted as a stringy excitation in the color flux-tube picture of hadrons. For both Q-Qbar and 3Q systems, the IR part of the ground-state potential is almost unchanged, even after cutting off high-momentum gluon component. On the other hand, we find more significant change of excited-state potential by the cut of UV-gluons. However, even after the removal of UV-gluons, the magnitude of the low-lying gluonic excitation remains to be of the order of 1GeV.

Lattice QCD study of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking with Dirac-mode expansion

Using the eigen-mode of the QCD Dirac operator $\Slash D=γ^μD^μ$, we develop a manifestly gauge-covariant expansion and projection of the QCD operators such as the Wilson loop and the Polyakov loop. With this method, we perform a direct analysis of the correlation between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in lattice QCD Monte Carlo calculations. Even after removing the low-lying Dirac modes, which are responsible to chiral symmetry breaking, we find that the Wilson loop obeys the area law, and the string tension or the confinement force is almost unchanged. We find also that the Polyakov loop remains to be almost zero even without the low-lying Dirac modes, which indicates the Z_3-unbroken confinement phase. These results indicate that one-to-one correspondence does not hold between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

SU(3) lattice QCD study of the gluon propagator in maximally Abelian gauge: off-diagonal gluon mass generation and infrared Abelian dominance

We investigate gluon propagators and the effective mass of the gluon fields in the MA gauge with U(1)$_3 \times$ U(1)$_8$ Landau gauge fixing in SU(3) lattice QCD. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed on $16^4$ at $β$=5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 and $32^4$ at $β=$5.8 and 6.0 at the quenched level. To calculate the propagators, we adopt a method to extract gauge fields from link-variables analytically in the SU(3) case. The off-diagonal gluons behave as massive vector bosons with the approximate effective mass $M_{\rm off} \simeq 1.1 - 1.2 {\rm GeV}$ in the region of $r = 0.3 - 0.8 {\rm fm}$, and the propagation is limited within a short range. On the other hand, the diagonal gluons behave as light vector bosons with $M_{\rm diag}\simeq 0.3 {\rm GeV} $ and the propagation of diagonal gluons remains even in a large range. In this way, infrared Abelian dominance is shown in terms of short-range propagation of off-diagonal gluons. Furthermore, we investigate the functional form of the off-diagonal gluon propagator. The functional form is well described by the four-dimensional Euclidean Yukawa-type function ${\rm exp}(-m_{\rm off} r)/r$ with $m_{\rm off} = 1.3 -1.4 {\rm GeV}$ for $r = 0.1- 0.8{\rm fm}$. This also indicates that the spectral function of off-diagonal gluons has the negative-value region.

Analytical derivation of gauge fields from link variables in SU(3) lattice QCD and its application in maximally Abelian gauge

In SU(3) lattice QCD, we improve a method to extract gauge fields from link variables analytically. With this method, we perform the first study on the effective mass generation of off-diagonal gluons and infrared Abelian dominance in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge in the SU(3) case. We investigate the propagator and the effective mass of the off-diagonal gluon field in the MA gauge with ${\rm U(1)}_3 \times {\rm U(1)}_8$ Landau gauge fixing in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD on $16^4$ at $β$=5.7, 5.8 and 6.0. The off-diagonal gluon component behaves as a massive vector boson with the approximate effective mass $M_{\rm off} = 1.1 - 1.2 {\rm GeV}$ in the region of $r = 0.3 - 0.8 {\rm fm}$, and its propagation is limited within a short range. We thus show the origin of infrared Abelian dominance in terms of short-range propagation of off-diagonal gluons. We also investigate the functional form of the off-diagonal gluon propagator. We find that the functional form is well described by the four-dimensional Euclidean Yukawa-type function ${\rm exp}\{-m_{\rm off} r\}/r$ with $m_{\rm off} = 1.3 -1.4 {\rm GeV}$ for $r = 0.1- 0.8{\rm fm}$. This also indicates that the spectral function has a negative region.
