  QCD vacuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is an example of a non-perturbative vacuum state, characterized by many non-vanishing condensates such as the gluon condensate or the quark condensate.
) chiral flavour symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian is broken in the vacuum state of the theory.
Prototypically, the baryon number of the chiral bag remains an integer, independent of bag radius: the exterior baryon number is identified with the topological winding number density of the Skyrme soliton, while the interior baryon number consists of the valence quarks (totaling to one) plus the spectral asymmetry of the quark eigenstates in the bag.

 Fermionic condensate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest recognized fermionic condensate described the state of electrons in a superconductor; the physics of other examples including recent work with fermionic atoms is analogous.
A chiral condensate is an example of a fermionic condensate that appears in theories of massless fermions with chiral symmetry breaking.
The primary difference between superfluid helium and a Bose-Einstein condensate is that the former is condensed from a liquid while the latter is condensed from a gas.

 [No title]
Spontaneous breaking of chiral $SU(N_f)$ symmetry is expected to arise as a consequence of confinement or as an instanton effect \cite{CDG,evs}, but it is not clear which mechanism drives chiral symmetry breaking.
Chiral symmetry breaking effects of confining forces have been discussed in \cite{BC,corn}, and it has been pointed out that in dual QCD monopole condensation not only yields confinement but also a chiral condensate through a gap equation \cite{BBZ}.
Dynamical breaking of chiral flavor symmetry in gauge theories is a puzzle, because it is very different from spontaneous magnetization: In a ferromagnet the interaction tends to align the dipoles, while thermal fluctuations restore disorder if the system has enough energy.

 Iniziativa PG12
Tachion condensation in the D-brane system induces a transition from an effective conformal field theory with central charge c=2 to a superconformal N=2 theory with central charge c=3/2; it would be interesting if this transition may be observed in the tunneling experiment of Greison et al..
We found also that the spectrum and the chiral condensate of 1+1 dimensional strongly coupled gauge theories are determined from the knowledge of the spin correlators of the corresponding antiferromagnetic models.
Our lattice computation lead to conjecture that the chiral condensate of 2D QCD is given by the chiral condensate of the Schwinger model multiplied by a term which depends only on the number of colors.

 Disoriented Chiral Condensate
Bjorken and McLerran proposed that quasi-stable large chiral domains may be formed in high energy reactions, where pion fields take non-vanishing expectation values and could be the source of pions in such events.
This can be seen as if the direction of the chiral condensate in such a domain were rotated from its vacuum configuration (Figure 1(a)) to a different one in chiral space (Figure 1(b)).
In [27][28] we showed however that in the presence of classical fluctuations of the fields, the effective potential is modified from the zero temperature one and that chiral symmetry can be either broken or restored depending on the magnitude of those fluctuations.

 THEORY INSTITUTE - Titles and Abstracts
Deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration are explored in a Dyson-Schwinger equation model of two-flavor QCD at finite temperature.
Mapping between mean-field chiral Lagrangian theory and Landau Fermi-liquid fixed point theory leads to some remarkable relations between the quantities that figure in low-energy nuclear spectroscopic properties (such as orbital gyromagnetic ratios, giant dipole resonances) and the behavior of strange and non-strange hadrons in hot and dense medium as probed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
In the chiral limit, the relaxation of a chiral symmetrical phase could lead to a disoriented chiral condensate with nonvanishing values in the pion direction.

 Honours Projects in Theoretical Physics - 2003
In a beautiful paper, Banks and Casher showed that this ``chiral condensate'' can be related to the properties of the low-lying spectrum of quarks in the background gluon field.
This project reviews the mechanisms by which the chiral condensate can be formed within the context of the Banks-Casher relation and how these relate to the underlying non-trivial vacuum structure of gluons in QCD.
One of the fundamental symmetry properties of massless QCD is chiral symmetry.

In the dilute instanton gas model of the QCD vacuum, one expects a strong spatial correlation between chirality and the maxima of the Dirac eigenvectors with small eigenvalues.
Further, the desired chiral properties are seen for the chiral condensate, suggesting that the domain wall fermion formulation may be an effective approach for the numerical study of QCD at finite temperature.
However, as $N_t$ increases to 16, the chiral symmetry properties of the weak-coupling side of the zero-temperature transition are unclear and offer a hint of a normal, finite-temperature, chiral symmetry breaking transition in the weak-coupling phase.

The order of the chiral restoration phase transition in QCD is currently unknown.
If the transition is nearly second order, Rajagopal and Wilczek (RandW) have speculated that the nonequilibrium dynamics of a heavy ion system can generate metastable domains in which the chiral condensate is disoriented.
Whether or not experiments can resolve these domains of disoriented chiral condensate (dcc) critically depends on their size and energy content.

SPECTRAL DENSITY ANALYSIS OF THE CHIRAL TRANSITION IN $n_f=4$ FINITE TEMPERATURE QCD N.A. Alves, B.A. Berg, D.W. Duke, A. Irb\"ack and S. Sanielevici Abstract: We apply the spectral density reweighting technique to the analysis of the chiral phase transition in finite-temperature lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with four flavors of dynamical staggered fermions and $m_qa=0.025$.
We calculate partition function zeros, as well as the maxima of the specific heat and of the susceptibilities for the Polyakov loop and for the chiral condensate.
A finite size scaling analysis of these data leads to preliminary results for the critical coupling $\beta_c$, for the critical exponent $\nu$, and for the jumps in the Polyakov loop and in the chiral condensate.

 Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated - Wave-particle duality
One such thought is that the whole issue of Relativity (velocity of light), electron orbit jumping, tunneling and particle entanglement, are all functions of the Chiral Condensate.
In that the Chiral Condensate appears to be some form of super-solid, one can see that if I have a steel rod so dense that it doesnot tolerate compression waves, when I push one end the other end of the rod moves at the same instant, even if it is 1,000,000,000 ly away.
Such that when you move relative to the source of the energy your velocity is additive or subtractive from the background condensate and you view the light at a new location where collectively the process equals the required v = c.

We have begun to show that starting from classical QCD and reintroducing some leading quantum corrections one can understand low energy nuclear physics phenomena as disparate as the static nuclear force, nucleon-antinucleon annihilation at rest and the disoriented chiral condensate.
Here we propose to continue these investigations with a view to improving their predictive power and widening their investigations with a view to improving their predictive power and widening their domain of application.
Our major effort will be on annihilation and on the disoriented chiral condensate while we continue to search for new avenues for application of our classical/quantum approach to QCD in nuclear physics.

Lattice QCD results are compared with a generalized Nambu Jona-Lasinio model in which quarks couple simultaneously to the chiral condensate and to a background temporal gauge field representing Polyakov loop dynamics.
It is pointed out how this condensate can be evaluated for in-medium situations in the large-N_c limit, where N_c denotes the number of colors [2].

 Notes to Symmetry and Symmetry Breaking
Note that SSB was in fact first introduced in the DSB form.
In the BCS theory of superconductivity, as well as in the 1961 theory of broken chiral symmetry by Nambu and Jona-Lasino, SSB is realized dynamically through a fermion condensate.
In the BCS theory, for example, the gauge invariance of electromagnetism is spontaneously broken by pairs of electrons that condense -- forming a bound state -- in the ground state of a metal.
