Axionic excitation from QCD Condensate
Abstract
A complex order parameter is used for describing inhomogeneous quark condensate and its phase is decomposed into a regular part and a singular part. An emergent gauge symmetry is found to connect these two parts. The singular part plays the role of an emergent gauge field while the regular part can be considered as an axionic excitation, provided that the chromoelectric flux tube is capable of inducing a vortex configuration in the quark condensate, with the help of axial anomaly.
