The quark vacuum
Abstract
We conjecture on the structure of the quark vacuum from a viewpoint somewhat different from, but perhaps supplementary to, standard philosophies. Using a rather simple dynamical Hamiltonian model, vacuum excitations carrying helicities 0 and +/-1 are discussed in connection with the dynamical stability of solutions. We speculate on how the rest masses of the light mesons pi0, eta0 and eta'0 could be related to these excitations.
